FOURAX-700 Multi-Axis Positioner
Product Description
Magtrol FOURAX positioners are parallel-kinematic, multi-axis systems designed specifically for mechanical test labs. Providing 4 axes of motion in one integrated device, the FOURAX can fully position a line in 3-dimensional space, so is well-suited to the alignment of rotary equipment.
Designed for durability and high-capacity as well as precision, the FOURAX can accommodate a wide variety of payloads. Difficult-to-fixture items can be aligned precisely with the FOURAX, eliminating frustrating, time-consuming work with shims, and/or expensive custom fixtures. The FOURAX-700 features a robust aluminum mounting platform with 10mm T-slots in its standard configuration.
The FOURAX does not require any special external electronics or cords. Required connections are one standard USB-C cable, and one standard AC power cord- just like a printer. The easy-to-use FOURAX-C1 software runs on any PC (PC must support LabVIEW™ runtime environment). All common measurement units are supported. Positions may be saved for later recall.

[post_content] => Magtrol Models 5500 and 5501 are manually-operated switch boxes that permit the connection of up to three Magtrol Dynamometers to a single DSP7000 Dynamometer Controller. Use of the switch boxes facilitates quick and easy interfacing of multiple dynamometers without the necessity of disconnecting and reconnecting the brake and control cables. For Magtrol WB Eddy-current or PB Powder Brake Dynamometers, BOTH a 5500 AND a 5501 Switch Box are necessary. Magtrol HD or ED Hysteresis Dynamometers only require the 5500.

[post_content] => Eddy-Current Brake Dynamometers (WB Series) are ideal for applications requiring high speeds and also when operating in the middle to high power range. Eddy-Current Brakes provide increasing torque as the speed increases, reaching peak torque at rated speed. The dynamometers have low inertia as a result of small rotor diameter. Brake cooling is provided by a water circulation system, which passes inside the stator to dissipate heat generated by the braking power, providing high continuous power ratings (max. 140 kW). WB Series Dynamometers integrate a torque measuring system with accuracy ratings of ± 0.3 % to ± 0.5 % full scale, depending on size and system configuration.
Features
- 12 Models with Maximum Torque from 400 mN·m to 560 N·m (56.6 oz·in to 413 lb·ft)
- Braking Power: from 500 W to 140 kW
- Stable Braking Torque, without Shock
- Low Moment of Inertia
- Low Residual Torque
- Operating Direction CW / CCW
- Braking Torque Measurement Integrated
- High Rotational Speed (≤ 80 000)
- Integrated Optical Speed Sensor
- Special designs available upon request
Operating Principles
The WB Eddy-Current Dynamometers develop their full power at high rotation speeds. The WB Series is particularly intended for motors which rotate at high speeds, up to 80 000 rpm (up to 100 000 rpm with
WB 23 / 27; see specific datasheet). The braking torque depends on the rotation speed.
Optical Speed Sensor
Each WB Series Dynamometer is equipped with an optical speed sensor.
WB 32 is equipped with a 4 PPR (Pulses Per Revolution) encoder, WB 43 and WB 65 HS are equipped with a 30 PPR encoder; WB 65, WB 115 & WB 15 are equipped with a 60 PPR encoder.

[post_content] => DES 410 Series Power Supplies are specially designed for the full range of Magtrol’s
Eddy-current and
Powder brake dynamometers with the design goal providing the best response time. The DES 410 Series supplies are packaged in an industrial housing made of cast aluminum. This offers superior protection against radiated emissions in order to avoid any disruption of the surrounding electronics modules. This housing must be installed directly on the test bench, next to the brake, as close as possible.
The DES 410 Series supplies can be controlled by digital signals and analog set point coming from peripheral electronics. The DSP7010 Dynamometer Controller has been designed to work with the DES Series.
Control
The Power supply can be switched ON by remote control. The STAND-BY signal enables the output current to be delivered. This excitation current is controlled by a set-point in the 0-10 V DC range. The nominal value of the excitation current is set by internal resistors. There are two discrete outputs for alarms (open collector). The first is the "Temperature Alarm". It will indicate if the cooling water of the Dynamometer or the inner temperature of the DES 410 Series are out of limits. The second is the "Electrical Alarm". It occurs when an over current or a short circuit is detected. The output current is immediately turned OFF and latched while the General Alarm Relay is set under its Alarm position. A low state for 200 ms of the Stand-by signal resets the latch.
For applications with TANDEM dynanometers, the DES 410 Series units also control the power supply of the electromagnetic clutch.
Supply Voltage
The main supply voltage of the DES Series is in the 115/230 VAC - 50/60 Hz range. No selection is required.
The DES 410 power supply features a galvanic insulation between the main circuit and the dynamometer power.
The DES 411 does not have galvanic separation.
For safety reasons, the DES 410 Series case has to be grounded and the use of a ground fault current circuit breaker is recommended.
