ELECTROMAGNETIC CLUTCH & BRAKE DRIVES FOR TEXTILE WEAVING         LOOMS.

Electromagnetic clutch & brake drives for textile weaving looms Toothed clutch units, Main clutch, Brake unit & Safely brake units, Custom developed for; Accurate control of "pick finders" in mordern rapier looms, "slow motion" control of "jacquard dobby" in rapier, Air-jet & Water jet looms, Separate control of "jacquard" motion, Temperatures of upto 150 degree celcius possible, very high torque in small dimensions, Very low noise & vibration, Numerous custom-built versions. Application :- Specially designed for modern high -speed wearing rapier looms, also possible for use in the Air-jet & Water-jet looms. Torque :- 180 N-m to 1400 N-m

VORTEX OFFERS a complete range of special clutch brake system for the automatic control of modern state-of-art weaving looms. These products which started on rapier looms, have now been passed onto those looms working on the air-jet technology and finally onto those ones on the very latest water-jet technology. The application of these products can be made on any looms, which are available in the market.

The main products for the loom industry include :--

a) The main electromagnetic clutch/brake single unit for the main control of the weaving loom.

b) Electromagnetic single-disc brake unit for the main electric motor.

c) Electromagnetic teeth clutch unit.

..........................--- for rapier looms : at double coupling for "slow motion" and "the pick finder"
.....................................................: at single coupling for the "pick finder", with a electromagnetic
...................................................... clutch for the "slow motion".

..........................--- for air & water jet looms : at single coupling for the "slow motion side" only.

d) Electromagnetic Spring-applied safety fail-safe brake units to hold the "jacquard unit" in the case of power failures

I. The main clutch / brake unit for the loom control

-- it stops loom avoiding the braking of the motor and the flywheel;
-- self-braking motor only, the motor does not need to have an inverter or a high initial torque (and it consumes less energy);

Main characteristics :

-- short closing time delay (which depends from the initial survoltage) on the two rotation directions;
-- high braking torque compared to the overall dimensions;
-- minimized noise and vibration;
-- average life (without maintenance) comparable to that of the loom, itself high reliability;
-- assembly possibility either in horizontal or in vertical position;
-- good thermal dissipation;
-- coupling without clearance;
-- constant reduced braking angle
