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.

These versatile fixtures align the motor under test with Magtrol’s HD-100, HD-106, HD-400, HD-500, HD-700 and HD-800 Series Dynamometers for easy setup and coupling—couplings can be provided upon request. Various adaptor rings (sold separately) can be customized to allow several different motors to be tested on the same fixture.

FMF Fixed Motor Fixtures can be mounted to any Magtrol Dynamometer T-slotted long base plate or any Hysteresis Dynamometer Table with grooved table top (TAB 1457S, TAB 0800L and TAB 0825L). These fixtures are equipped with a precisely located rectangular key on the bottom of the plate for easy centering. Also included are four adjustable clamping levers and T-nuts.

Each channel outputs the specified pulses per revolution of the encoder shaft, and is 90° phase-shifted in order to determine direction when used with the appropriate counter/timer DAQ board. The device incorporates an infrared optical switch and disk assembled into a rugged aluminum housing. The encoder is supplied with an 8 mm rectangular key for easy alignment to a Magtrol PT 25 Base Plate.

                    [post_content] => Magtrol’s AMF Series Adjustable Motor Fixtures are used to secure small to medium-sized motors in place while running any test. These extremely versatile fixtures also enable easy motor centering for coupling to a Magtrol HD Series Hysteresis Dynamometer. (Couplings can be supplied upon request.) Various motor lengths are accommodated by either an attached T-slotted base plate or sliding base, depending on the model.

The AMF-1, -2 and -3 Fixtures feature one or two adjustable bridges, each fitted with a fluted knob clamp screw, to allow clamping anywhere along the axis of the motor. The adjustable bridge on the AMF-V Fixture incorporates a straight-line action clamp with a V-angle rubber padded clamp to maximize the mounting area.

To safeguard the motor, locking thumb screws provide protection against vibration and all motor-to-fixture contact surfaces are nylon padded for scratch-free clamping.

All eight thermocouples pairs are bundled into a single cable and terminated in a die cast aluminum box with barrier strip jackets for easy connection.

Interconnection errors can be avoided by using the barrier strip with the relevant thermocouple extension or compensation material. The strips are marked to identify the alloy and polarity.

The box can be supplied with optional T-nuts for easy mounting to a T-slot table or Magtrol PT 25 Base Plate.
