Frequently asked questions and answers on electromagnetic clutches, electromagnetic brakes and safety brakes

1. FAQs APRIL 2016
How is an FAE electromagnetic brake powered?
The FAE electromagnetic brake sets up a magnetic field when applying a
standard voltage of 24 V.c.c to a bobbin.
Such a magnetic field attracts the armature disc and causes the membrane
spring deforms.
What is an EFE electromagnetic clutch-brake?
The EFE electromagnetic clutch-brake is a small compact unit that provides
a safety and fast response. It is free of sliprings and keeps the electromagnetic
group through a set of auto-protective radial bearings that free it from the
clutch-brake mechanical group behaviour.
To what field is a GEF electromagnetic clutch-brake applied?
The GEF electromagnetic clutch-brake – a unit formed by a clutch and a
brake mounted in a single framework – is directly applied to the packaging
industry, machine tools and textile industry. It is usually applied to the engine
and the reducer or its composers.
What voltage does an FZ electromagnetic brake withstand?
An FZ electromagnetic brake – a unit specially designed to perform parallel
tasks with a high degree of reliability – works with a standard voltage of 24
V.c.c
It can be manufactured to withstand other voltage types. This service is
performed under request.
