Magnetic Technologies

• The Magnetic Technologies magnetic brakes and clutches use permanent magnets to produce a drag torque and require no electricity for operation.
• By driving the body of the magnetic brake and using the shaft as an output, these permanent magnet hysteresis brakes can be used as adjustable inline torque limiting magnetic.
• Drag torque is constant and independent of slip speed
• Torque on each unit can be adjusted to any value between bearing drag (~0) and the max torque indicated in the table below.
• Refer to heat curve on product data sheet to ensure speed and torque of your application will not exceed heat rating of brake.
• Refer to bending moment rating on product data sheet if you plan to place your spool directly on the brake shaft.
• For heavy spools, consider using one of our HD models or supporting your spool with a separate bearing structure.

• Magnetic Technologies electromagnetic brakes and electromagnetic clutches utilize an electromagnet to generate drag torque.
• Drag torque is dependent on input current and independent of slip speed, a constant current power supply such as our MPP24 must be used.
• Torque on each unit can be adjusted to any value between bearing drag (~0) and the max torque indicated in the table below by adjusting input current.
• Select an electromagnetic brake or electromagnetic clutch based on torque requirement
• Refer to heat curve on product data sheet to ensure speed and torque of your application will not exceed heat rating of brake.

These brakes utilize an electric hysteresis brake paired with an integral gearbox. Ideal for applications that require high torque at a low speed. Available in a variety of gear ratios depending on torque requirements up to 450 ft-lb.

These brakes offer air-cooling using compressed air. Ideal for high-speed applications which are dissipating considerable heat.

Magnetic Technologies PowerPro24 (MPP24) is a modern, microprocessor controlled constant current digital power supply and tension controller. MPP24 is specifically designed for use with their line of Electric Hysteresis Brakes.

The co-axial coupling consists of three parts, the inner hub, the outer hub, and the optional containment barrier. Both the inner and outer hubs consist of a series of rare earth magnets that are ground, potted, and glued to steel hubs. The inner hub is then completely sealed in stainless steel to protect the magnets and hub from damage or corrosive substances.

Magnetic couplings offer a non-contact transfer of torque. They are typically used in magnetic drive pumps and magnetic mixers for seal-less applications, keeping corrosive, toxic, or flammable liquids from escaping into the atmosphere.

By driving one magnetic hub, torque is transmitted magnetically to the other magnetic hub. This can be done through the air or through a non-magnetic containment barrier such as stainless steel or fiberglass, allowing complete isolation of the inner magnetic hub from the outer magnetic hub. There are no contacting parts in magnetic drive pumps which allows for torque transmission through both angular and parallel misalignment.

• Eliminates Rotating Seals
• No Wearing Parts
• Synchronous Design, No Slip at Any Speed
• No Physical Contact Between Driving and Driven Parts
• Safe For Use Up To 140° C, High-Temp Designs Available
• Custom Designs Available

Magnetic Couplings are available in two styles, Co-Axial (MTC) and Disc (MTD)

Which one is right for you, see comparison below.

MTC-0.1-SB through MTC-10-SB containment barriers are made from 316 stainless and are rated to a minimum of 450 psi. Containment shells for other sizes are made to order and are rated according to customer requirements.

Disc type magnetic couplings consist of two opposing discs with powerful rare earth magnets. The torque applied to one disc is transferred through an air gap to the other disc. Because of its simple flat design, you can have angular misalignment of up to 3º or parallel misalignment up to ¼” and still transmit nearly full rotational torque.

Magnetic Technologies Hysteresis Design is Built Better and Lasts Longer

In the hysteresis design, the magnets drive the torque through a special material called the hysteresis disc. The hysteresis disc generates a completely smooth, highly repeatable torque to the bottle cap. The result is better torque to the cap and longer life for the clutch.

Magnetic Technologies use the highest quality magnets, design techniques, and materials to bring you the best clutch for your money. We can custom build OEM designs and offer standard stainless steel bottle capping clutches to replace most competitive brands. We offer rebuild and clutch exchange programs.

FastLock quick-release shaft locking collars are used throughout the wire and cable industry for spool retention. The FastLock easily slides onto the spool shaft in one direction and locks in place. This quick locking functionality ensures spool retention while maximizing productivity.

To remove, simply pull on the release collar and the FastLock slides off of the shaft.

All FastLocks are constructed from Stainless Steel. Steel versions are available upon request.

• Axial Holding Force: This value will vary based on shaft diameter and hardness. It is recommended that customers perform their own testing on their specific shaft
• Shaft Tolerance: +.001″ -.015″
• FastLocks are NOT designed for use on hardened shafts.
