Electromagnetic clutch - Active Clutch Line

Electromagnetic clutches and brakes by Kendrion (Aerzen) transmit the torque and brake torque through dry running friction material. With DC voltage applied, the torque is transmitted without backlash. Using the prestressed spring of the armature, a release, free of residual torque is ensured. These clutches and brakes can be installed in any mounting position and hardly need any maintenance. Kendrion (Aerzen) offers standard clutches from 0.3 to 3.6 Nm as well as customer- and application-specific solutions up to 5 Nm.

Electromagnetic clutches and brakes of Kendrion (Aerzen) GmbH are easy to install and integrate into the machinery concept/layout with no setting up or running in. Kendrion offers a combination fitted on a hollow shaft for applications where clutches and brakes work together. The units are based on the successful magneta components. They are fitted on a through shaft. The unit is fixed using simply two screws and is ready for operation then. Electromagnetic clutches and electromagnetic brakes from Kenrion (Aerzen) GmbH transmit the drive torque and braking torque frictionally in dry running conditions. If a DC current is applied, the torque is transferred without backlash. Residual torque free ventilation in a de-energised state is ensured by the prestressed annular spring of the armature section. The clutches and brakes are suitable for every mounting position and require almost no maintenance.

The main characteristic of the magnetic particle clutch is the possibility to smoothly change the torque depending on the field voltage. To transmit the torque from the external to the internal rotor, specifically alloyed and highly abrasion-resistant iron particles are inserted into the particle gap. Depending on the electromagnetic field, these fine iron particles build magnetic chains and thus transmit the torque. The power of the field determines the stability of the particle chains and also the transmittable torque.
