Warner Electric offers a wide variety of clutch/brake controls which perform a broad array of functions ranging from basic starting and stopping to rapid cycling and high accuracy indexing our clutch/brake controls.
On-Off – (Basic Start-Stop)
Many applications are controlled by energizing the clutches and brakes with their rated D.C. voltages. Warner Electric controls are available with various mounting, input voltage and switching options.
Adjustable Torque – (Soft Start-Stop)
The torque transmitted by a clutch or brake is proportional to the coil current. Warner Electric offers several products that provide torque control for smooth and repeatable starts and stops.
Positioning Control – (Baggage Handling Applications)
Clutch Brake Positioning Controls.
Adjustable Accel-Decel – (Soft start-stop with full torque)
Warner Electric offers a control that allows for adjustment of the acceleration and deceleration time ramps to achieve a repeatable soft start or stop while still allowing for full torque.
Overexcitation – (Rapid cycling)
The clutch/brake speed of response can be increased for improved accuracy and performance through overexcitation, which is the application of a short high voltage pulse to provide nearly instantaneous torque.
Tension Controls
Products range from simple manually adjustable models through sophisticated closed loop dancer controls and load cell systems.
