Description
What is the OLK electromagnetic clutch?
The OLK electromagnetic clutch of Precima Magnettechnik es a versatile and reliable solution designed to transmit or interrupt motion in a variety of industrial applications. This electromagnetic clutch stands out for its robust design and its ability to operate in a precise and controlled manner.
Inductor core with coil
The inductor core with its corresponding coil is the central part that generates the magnetic field when a DC voltage is applied. This magnetic field is essential for the operation of the clutch by attracting the armature.
Rotor with friction material
The rotor, which includes the built-in friction material, is mounted on the machine shaft with a key. This component is essential for the transmission of motion and control of the clutch.
Induced set
The armature assembly consists of the armature disc itself, which includes a diaphragm spring, and the armature bracket. The diaphragm spring is crucial to the engagement and disengagement of the clutch by acting as a spring element.
Electromagnetic release
The brake is released electromagnetically. This means that when a suitable electrical voltage is applied, the brake is released, allowing movement. This feature provides precise control over braking and release, which is essential in applications requiring a high degree of precision.
Positive current driven operation
The OLK electromagnetic clutch operates as a positive clutch, which means that it is activated by the application of a direct electric current.
When a DC voltage is applied to the coil, a magnetic field is generated which passes through the friction-lined rotor. This magnetic field attracts the armature, which allows the transmission of motion. In other words, when the clutch receives current, it engages and allows the transfer of motion.
When the electrical current is interrupted, the diaphragm spring retracts the armature. This action separates the rotor from the armature disc, disengaging the clutch and stopping the transmission of motion.
Various constructions for different applications:
The OLK electromagnetic clutch is offered in three different constructions:
- Construction 0: This is the basic clutch unit, consisting of the armature, rotor and armature, with the spring-membrane riveted. It is mounted directly on pulleys or sprockets.
- Construction L: It includes the armature, the rotor, the armature with riveted spring-membrane and a pulley or pinion bushing, which makes it suitable for applications with specific mounting requirements.
- Construction F1: Consisting of the inductor, rotor, armature with riveted spring-membrane and an aluminium bushing designed to be mounted on another shaft. This construction offers greater flexibility in terms of mounting.
