Electromagnetic Drive Clutch For Molins Mark 8 Generates Less Heat

Electromagnetic Clutch:

Electromagnetic clutch is a electronic component of cigarette making/packing machines that operates electrically but transmit torque mechanically.

Features:

Tough

High performance

Condition: brand new

Long functional life

Reliable

High temperature tolerance

High fracture strength

Engagement:

When the clutch is actuated, current flows through the electromagnet producing a magnetic field. The rotor portion of the clutch becomes magnetized and sets up a magnetic loop that attracts the armature. The armature is pulled against the rotor and a frictional force is generated at contact. Within a relatively short time, the load is accelerated to match the speed of the rotor, thereby engaging the armature and the output hub of the clutch. In most instances, the rotor is constantly rotating with the input all the time.

Function:

Electromagnetic clutches are most suitable for remote operation since no mechanical linkages are required to control their engagement, providing fast, smooth operation. However, because the activation energy dissipates as heat in the electromagnetic actuator when the clutch is engaged, there is a risk of overheating. Consequently, the maximum operating temperature of the clutch is limited by the temperature rating of the insulation of the electromagnet. This is a major limitation. Another disadvantage is higher initial cost.
