Magnetic Powder Brakes: A Comprehensive Analysis Of Magnetic Powder Brakes

As an important mechanical transmission device, magnetic particle brake is widely used in various fields. Whether it is automobile manufacturing, machine tool manufacturing or construction machinery, it is inseparable from the use of magnetic particle brakes. In response to the growing demand for magnetic particle brakes in the market, professional manufacturers actively develop various specifications and models to meet the needs of different users.

The working principle of magnetic particle brake:
The working principle of magnetic particle brakes is based on the magnetorheological effect of magnetic particles. When an electric current is passed through the brake coil, the resulting magnetic field causes the magnetic particles that fill the brake gap to undergo a magnetorheological phenomenon. The rheological properties of magnetic particles make them have the characteristics between fluids and solids, that is, in the state of no current or low current, magnetic particles behave as fluids and cannot provide braking force, while when the current increases, magnetic particles behave as solids and can provide braking force and achieve braking effect. By controlling the magnitude and direction of the current, the braking and braking functions of the magnetic particle brake can be realized.

The structure of the magnetic particle brake is as follows:
Magnetic particle brakes typically include components such as a main structure, coils, power controllers, and sensors. The main structure includes stator, rotor and brake disc, which is the basic component of magnetic particle brake. The stator is the fixed part of the brake that contains the coil and the magnetic powder to fill the gap. The rotor is the rotating part of the brake that is fixed to the shaft and connected to the motor or other transmission. The brake disc is a metal disc on the rotor that realizes the braking or braking function through the work of the brake.

Application areas of magnetic particle brakes:
Magnetic powder brakes are widely used in various fields, mainly in the following aspects:
1) Industrial field: Magnetic powder brakes are often used in the braking systems of various machinery and equipment, such as lifting machinery, winding machines, punches, cutting machines, etc. Because magnetic particle brakes have the characteristics of fast response and precise control, they can provide stable braking effect, so they are widely used in industrial production.
2) Transportation: The application of magnetic powder brakes in vehicles is also common. For example, in e-bikes, electric vehicles, and electric vehicles, magnetic particle brakes can achieve adjustable braking force to improve driving safety and comfort.
3) Aerospace field: In the aerospace field, magnetic particle brakes are used to control and adjust the attitude of aircraft and satellites to achieve precise attitude control and stability.
4) Other fields: Magnetic particle brakes have some other special applications, such as medical equipment, electronic equipment, instrumentation and other fields. In these areas, magnetic particle brakes are often used to achieve some precise control and adjustment functions.

Magnetic powder brakes have many advantages:
1) Its braking effect is very good, which can achieve fast braking response and stable braking force. Whether running at high or low speeds, magnetic particle brakes provide reliable braking results.
2) The magnetic particle brake has a large transmission torque and can adapt to various load conditions. Whether under heavy or light loads, magnetic particle brakes can provide stable and reliable braking force to ensure the safe operation of equipment and vehicles.
3) The magnetic powder brake also has the advantages of long life and simple maintenance. The magnetic material it uses is less abrasive during friction and can maintain a long service life. At the same time, since the magnetic particle brake does not have wearing parts such as friction plates, it is also very easy and convenient to maintain.

Magnetic Particle BrakesAlthough magnetic particle brakes have many advantages in terms of braking performance and reliability, they also have some limitations:
1) For example, in a high-temperature environment, the performance of magnetic particle brakes may be affected and cooling measures are required.
2) Since the magnetic particle brake adopts an electromagnetic control mode, its response speed is affected by voltage and current, and the power supply voltage and current need to be reasonably controlled to ensure the stability and reliability of the braking effect.

The following preparations need to be made before the operation of the magnetic particle brake:
Before the magnetic particle brake is officially operated or after the device is moved, it must be operated evenly before it can be officially operated. In this way, a smooth torque can be generated, and the uniform operation mode is as follows: in the non-excitation state, the driving side rotates at a high speed (below 1800rpm) as much as possible for about 1 minute, and the excitation current is set at 1/4-1/5 of the rated rate, and on the one hand, the drive side is rotated, and on the other hand, it is turned on in 5 seconds, closed in 10 seconds, and the excitation is excitation about 20 times.

How to improve the efficiency of magnetic particle brakes:
* Causes of the efficiency of the magnetic particle brake
1) Due to the transportation process or the placement time is too long, the magnetic powder filled between the two groups of units is scattered on one side, and the magnetic is not excited before starting, resulting in stuck.
2) Caused by the use of inferior magnetic powder.
3) Excessive encapsulation of magnetic particles during the production process.
4) Due to the low manufacturing accuracy of the product, the concentricity of the rotor is not enough, resulting in uneven output torque or stuck.
*Suggestions for improving the working efficiency of magnetic particle brakes
1) Before the formal operation or after the device is moved, it must be operated evenly before the formal operation. This results in a smooth torque that runs evenly as follows:
In the non-excitation state, after the drive side rotates at high speed (below 1800rpm) as much as possible for about 1 minute, the excitation current is set at 1/4-1/5 of the rated rate, and on the one hand, the drive side is rotated, and on the other hand, it is turned on for 5 seconds, turned off for 10 seconds, and excitation is exhausted for about 20 times.
2) When choosing to buy a magnetic particle clutch/magnetic particle brake, it is best to choose a product with guaranteed quality.
