RESPONSE OF PARTICLES TO MAGNETIC FIELD IS VIRTUALLY INSTANTANEOUS MAGNETIC FIELD (24 vdc model only) PRE-ALIGNED, PACKAGED UNIT. EXTREMELY CLEAN PRODUCT. NO WEAR PARTICLES TO CONTAMINATE ENVIRONMENT INPUT SHAFT Magnetic Particle Clutches & Brakes MOUNTING BRACKETS AVAILABLE Sofstep Clutches and Brakes are available in a variety of sizes with torque ratings from 2 to 240 lb-in. They provide smooth, controllable torque for power transmission and tension control applications. For precise torque and tension control, use Sofstep Clutches and Brakes with MAGPOWR controls. MAGPOWR offers a broad range of tension control alternatives to fit your specific application. Exceptional Controllability Totally Enclosed Torque is independent of slip speed and directly proportional to input current. When combined with MAGPOWR controls and sensors, unmatched system capability is provided. No wear particles to contaminate environment. Ideal for clean-room conditions Smooth Engagement No shock or torque spikes during engagement for controlled acceleration of load. No Maintenance Nothing to monitor or adjust Quiet Operation No slap or squeaks Energy Efficient High Heat Dissipation Low consumption of electrical power Unique design and the use of special materials allows for efficient heat dissipation and long life. Compact Design High torque to size ratio Fast Response No mechanical parts to move-provides engagement in milliseconds. Magnetic Particle Clutches & Brakes 135
