The B115 is a magnetic particle brake designed for smooth torque control in applications requiring tension regulation or load simulation. It offers a torque range of 2.5 to 115 lb.-in. with a maximum RPM of 1800 and dissipates up to 55 watts continuously. The brake has a maximum case temperature limit of 160°F, supports 6, 12, 24, or 90 VDC coil voltages, and weighs 8 lbs. Shaft inertia is 61 × 10⁻⁵ lb.-in.-sec², with response times of 90 ms unforced and 45 ms forced. It requires a solid shaft with set screw alignment on the flat and must be electrically grounded. The brake operates with no mechanical coupling when de-energized and slips smoothly upon current application.
Placid magnetic particle brakes, also called powder brakes and mag particle brakes, provide smooth and repeatable torque control. Torque is proportional to input current, and independent of shaft speed, thereby allowing for precise control. These self-contained magnetic particle brakes are ideal for tension control, load simulation, and soft stops. Some large units are available with fan or pneumatic cooling. Torque rating from 1 oz.-in to 300 lb.-ft.
