Sofstep® Applications 2. Indexing/Cycling Fast response and low output shaft inertia allows for faster accelerations. No backlash or slip occurs unless applied torque exceeds output torque. Stepping is precise and repeatable with low overshoot and fast setting times. Capstan Motor Motor Sofstep Clutch and Brake Wire Shears Pressure Rollers Sofstep Clutch and Brake Control Film Processing Wire Magnetic Particle Clutch and Brake used together provide indexing for film processing Sensor Pulling Wheel Wire Cut Off Machine Magnetic Particle Clutch and Brake used together provide indexing capabilities for wire cutting machine Magnetic Particle Clutches & Brakes 3. Controlled Start/Stop Controllable stops and starts are possible with Sofstep Magnetic Clutches and Brakes. By controlling input current, ramped acceleration and deceleration profiles are attainable which help avoid torque spikes and shock during acceleration and provide smooth, jerk-free engagement.
