Electromagnetic-actuated clutches engage polyethelene sheet rolls quickly and accurately

October 8, 2021 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

clutches

Engaging individual polyethylene sheet rolls with no system downtime is accomplished with speed and accuracy using Miki Pulley CSZ Clutches. Continuously operating via servo motor power by way of a V-belt, individual roll spools automatically switch on/off as programmed when engaged by the CSZ clutches. These high-performance clutches function using electro-magnetic force generated by an […]

New BXW model spring-actuated brakes from Miki Pulley

October 1, 2019 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

brakes

Miki Pulley’s BXW spring-actuated electromagnetic brakes provide reliable dynamic braking when the power is disengaged and excellent performance in long-term holding applications. BXW brakes use internal compression springs to provide power-off, fail-safe braking. The primary moving part in this robust but simple brake design is the armature plate. When actuated, the brake compression springs push […]

Electromagnetic brakes provide more stopping power for servo motors using less space

March 29, 2019 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

brakes

The BXR-LE brake series from Miki Pulley is a power-off, engaged brake design. When the stator is energized, the brake is disengaged allowing free rotation. When no current is applied, compression springs halt the brake rotor thereby stopping the input shaft rotation. This is an ideal feature to prevent rotation during power failure events. The […]

Step-FlexTM coupling solving resonance problems in ball screws

September 23, 2014 By Jennifer Calhoon Leave a Comment

Miki-PulleyTH

Step-Flex, the new class of shaft couplings, eliminates resonance in stepper motor ball screw assemblies. Now with this video, system designers can see how this innovative two-part elastomer element combination coupling operates. Step-Flex Couplings are designed to “mechanically tune” the system for optimal performance when a stepper motor is used to drive a linear actuator. […]
