clutches and brakes manufacturer
What are the characteristics defining an FZ electromagnetic brake?
An FZ electromagnetic brake FZ has a high degree of reliability and dissipates heat
properly. It also provides a fast response speed and the residual torque available is
minimal. There is no braking current and unbraked is without electricity.
According to customer needs, the brake can be served with torque control, with a manual
release through the use of a lever, and with a cover to protect it from harsh
environments.
What is the electric charge an FHY hysteresis electromagnetic brake can
withstand?
An FHY hysteresis electromagnetic brake can withstand a 24 VDC electrical charge for
all the available manufactured sizes: 74-102 - 138 - 210
Depending on the size chosen, consumption ranges from 18 to 30 and 36W.
What industry can apply an FPC parachute safety brake?
An FPC parachute safety brake applies to various sectors: renewable energies, cleaning
of buildings and facades, machine tools and construction industry.
For the last sector, it stands outs the application of FPC parachute safety brakes for
cranes, construction hoists and mast climbing working platforms.
What is the mass of a SER electromagnetic clutch?
To determine the mass of an industrial SER electromagnetic clutch, everything depends
on the type of construction to which it applies and its size.

mass of 1.06 kg; and 1.3 construction, a mass of 0.90 kg.
For a 1.5 size, 1.1 construction requires a mass of 1.20 kg; 1.2 construction requires a
mass of 1.68 kg; 1.3 construction requires a mass of 1.40 kg.
For a 3 size, the 1.1 construction requires a mass of 2.30; 1.2 construction requires a
mass of 3.06 kg; and 1.3 construction, a mass of 2.99 kg.
For a 6 size, the 1.1 construction requires a mass of 3.90 kg; 1.2 construction requires
a mass of 5.37 kg; 1.3 construction, a mass of 4.62 kg.

2. For a 12 size, the 1.1 construction requires a mass of 7 kg; 1.2 construction requires a
mass of 10.05 kg; 1.3 construction, a mass of 8.55 kg.
For a 20 size, the 1.1 construction requires a mass of 13.5 kg; 1.2 construction requires
a mass of 19 kg; 1.3 construction, a mass of 16.5 kg.
For a 45 size, the 1.1 construction requires a mass of 21.5 kg; 1.2 construction requires
a mass of 32 kg; 1.3 construction, a mass of 27 kg.
