Magnetic Particle Brakes : Five Advantages & Maintenance points

  • by
Magnetic Particle Brakes

Magnetic Particle Brakes is an electromagnetic brake that uses the principle of magnetic particle sliding energy consumption to control the braking torque within a certain range. Magnetic particle brake is mainly composed of rotor, stator, electromagnetic coil, magnetic powder, junction box, etc.

Five Advantages Of Magnetic Particle Brakes

  • Wide range of adjustability: By adjusting the size of the excitation current, the braking force of the brake can be easily and accurately adjusted.
  • Stability: Magnetic Particle Brakes can provide stable braking force and is not affected by changes in braking speed.
  • Fast response speed: The response time of magnetic particle brake is usually a few milliseconds or less, so it can quickly achieve braking operation.
  • Low energy consumption: Magnetic particle brake consumes only a small amount of energy in braking state, so it has low energy consumption.
  • Maintenance-free: Magnetic particle brake does not require lubricating oil, so frequent maintenance and replacement of parts are not required.

Maintenance points of magnetic particle brake

  1. Lubrication of contact surfaces between gears; lubrication of bearings and screw parts.
  2. Check whether the temperature of the motor is too high.
  3. Check the sound generated when the machine is running, and judge according to specific requirements.
  4. When replacing the magnetic particle of the magnetic particle brake or magnetic particle clutch, it must be operated by professionals.
  5. Check whether the installed bolts are loose, and the bolts must be tightened.

Conclusion

The magnetic particle  brake has the characteristics of fast braking response speed, strong braking processing ability, and high precision. At the same time, because it will not wear out due to braking, its life can be extended. It is widely used in various fields such as printing machinery, packaging machinery, sewing equipment, and textile machinery.
