New Permanent Magnet Brake Animation Video Created by Ogura
10-04-2018
Ogura has created a new animation showing how permanent magnet brakes work. The animation shows an exploded view of the component parts and how they interact with each other. In permanent magnet brakes, holding force is created by permanent magnets and released by energizing the magnetic field. Permanent magnet brakes are higher torque and smaller diameter versus spring applied brakes. Permanent magnet brakes also allow torque to be controlled by varying the offsetting current to the brake. Brakes are used on a wide variety of medical, robotic and other motion control applications. These are available on our website and also on our YouTube channel. Ogura has been producing clutches and brakes since 1938. Over that time, we have developed over 5,000 different models of clutches and brakes. Although Ogura primarily produces electromagnetic clutches and brakes, we also produce magnet particle, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic and a variety of specialty products. Ogura is the world's largest manufacturer of electromagnetic clutches and brakes. Current manufacturing capacity is over 30 million units per year. To provide localized support, we have manufacturing plants spread throughout the world in Asia, The Americas, and Europe.
