The Magnetic Coupler operates on the principles of lagging magnetic values with no
direct contact between the driving and the driven elements. This principle is commonly used on mechanisms requiring extreme consistency, reliability, and servicefree operation.
In other words, its ideal for your mill.
The remarkable stability of the permanent magnetic couplers torque during pay-out
and take-up makes this unit ideal for winding flexible electrical cable and hoses. All
critical, components are completely sealed and protected from the elements.
The best part is that you will never change a spring again.

IERTM Magnetic Coupler can be driven by any substantial constant

speed power input (normally a 1725 RPM electric motor).
The power input turns the driving magnet (#2) at motor speed.

AIR GAP
INDUCED PART

INDUCER

An air gap (#3) separates the driving magnet from the driven magnets (#4) spool side.
The speed differential (slip RPM) between the electric motor shaft
(driving magnet) and the cable reel spool (driven magnet) is accommodated by the hysteresis coupler using an air gap with the resulting magnetic coupler as the slipping interface.
The magnets within the coupler are all permanent. Therefore, the
coupler requires no external power or controls.

MOTOR

MAGNET DUTY REELS

DRIVEN PART

The rating of the coupler is continuous and it can be 100% stalled,

with heat dissipated by the rotating magnet enclosure (#6). The
output torque can be changed by adjustment of the air gap. The
one way bearing (#1) on the input side allows the magnets to
become a brake if the motor is shut off.

MAGNETIC COUPLER DRIVE

MAGNETIC COUPLER DRIVE FEATURES
Thanks to its brilliantly simple
operating priciples, the IERTM
Magnetic Coupler Drive is
among the most economical of
all drive systems.
Never change a spring again.

Smooth consistent torque assures maximum cable life

Compact design requires minimal space
Continuous 100% stall duty rating
No loss of cable tension during power outages
Critical components are completely sealed and protected from the elements

2-CONDUCTOR CABLE SPECIFICATIONS

Reel selection requires that active length of cable and the appropriate wire gauge has
been determined. All reel selections shown on page 4 are based on the cable specifications shown below. If you plan to use a cable that has different weight or diameter, please
consult the factory or your local represenatative.

ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS
Determine active length of cable. Go to selection chart on page 6 to find proper reel. All reels
shown are based on a 460/3/60 power supply. If 230 volt DC power supply is required, consult
the factory. Reels with up to #2 AWG cable are supplied with a two-conductor, 200 amp, 600
volt rated slip rings. Reels for #1 and #1/0 AWG sizes are supplied with 400 amp, 600 volt rated
slip rings. All slip rings are double brushed and of self-contained (one-piece) construction.

An additional 12 feet of cable (beyond total required cable length)

is necessary for reel connections and safety wraps.

MAGNETIC COUPLER R EELS FOR MAGNET DUTY

SELECTION C HART
The magnetic coupler drive was developed for high duty cycle applications. The
drive incorporates a standard asynchronous motor coupled to the magnetic coupler.
Some models will use a secondary gearbox between the coupler and the main
gearbox. Certain models will use a dual motor configuration. On all models, motor
location preference will need to be indicated by drive unit position numbers shown
on dimensional pages 5 and 6.
If 230 volt DC motors are used, an additional 3.25 will need to be added to 1 HP
models, and 5 to 2 HP models. See dimensional information on pages 5 and 6.
All selections are based on a lift application.
Operating speed is 200 FPM. From zero to full speed in two seconds.
All selections are based on TYPE W cable, 600 volt rated. (See page 3 for details.)
