Magnetic Actuator:
Short stroke DC tractive type with encapsulated coil and screw-off release nut with optional switch. All fabricated steel construction.
- Resin encapsulated coil with Class F insulation
- Optional replaceable coil arrangement for CX range
- 100% continuously rated up to +40°C ambient
- Air gap dust and drip protected by neoprene gaiter
- Terminal box IP55 enclosure
Characteristics:
All DC magnets tend to inherently slow response due to build up and decay of the magnetic field. The actual times are dependent on size and vary with excitation voltage, coil temperature and spring loading (torque) and also the magnet stroke which increases as brake linings wear.
Coil Forcing:
(Shunt Wound Voltage Operated)
All CU & CX Range brakes are forced open by electric current creating a magnetic field. Brake release and set times are reduced by a separate brake control unit to apply increased power magnetic force during a short preset start period . Control units are enclosed ventilated drip proof IP22 for DC supplies or totally enclosed IP55 with rectifier for 1 or 3 phase AC supplies.
