EMP (Electro Magnetic Particle) Brakes & Clutches Principles

Overview

The EMP powder reacts to the variation of a magnetic field generated by a coil. Varying the powder's "viscosity" leads to the control of the torque transmission between the primary and the secondary rotors. When the secondary rotor is fixed to the equipment frame, the device is acting as a brake. When the secondary rotor is free to rotate, the device is acting as a clutch.


Features

The torque is proportional to the electric current
The torque is independent of slip speed

  • Reliable, stable torque without chock nor noise
  • Low residual torque
  • Continuous slip
  • Bi-directional rotation
  • Low wear, long life-reduced maintenance
  • Thermal dissipation increased by the installation of cooling fins (radiator)
  • Dust free
  • Fast response time
  • Low electric power control
  • Easy remote control
  • Linear smooth, silent
  • Easy to integrate in any type of system

X-Block

The X-block has been designed to meet the demand for easy wiring, easy start-up, and to answer the need of compactness for cabinet backplane installation. These criteria are the most essential features for the integrators designing multiple wire and cable pay off equipments.
Its narrow profile and its rear-panel DIN rail mounting clip allow up to six units to be installed side-by-side in a width of 300 mm. The connectors are located on the front panel for easy access to the units installed on the cabinet backplane when cabling.
The electronic board provides very comprehensive functions, built around a dedicated PID controller. With its many professional integrated functions, it meets all the specific needs of tension control systems. It also includes a digitally fully-configurable sensor amplification module, enabling plug-and-play settings for all types of load cells currently available on the market. In addition, the same amplification module allows direct calibration of position measurement potentiometers (used for dancer roller systems) or distance measurement sensors (ultrasonic or laser). Moreover, a built-in power supply function allows direct control from many types of electromagnetic actuators without any need of external powering modules, including of course the entire range of EMP brakes and clutches supplied by MEROBEL.
To make it short, using MEROBEL X-block simply eliminates the need of external wirings linked up to all the usual components of tension control systems between the sensor and the actuator.
