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’s EMA Series Stand Alone Encoder provides a squarewave output on two channels for up/down counting or free-runmotor speed measurement applications. 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] => Hysteresis Brake Dynamometers (HD Series) are versatile and ideal for testing in the low to medium power range (maximum 14 kW intermittent duty). With a Hysteresis Braking system, the Dynamometers do not require speed to create torque, and therefore can provide a full motor ramp from free-run to locked rotor. Brake cooling is provided by convection (no external source), by compressed air or by dedicated blower, depending on the model. All Magtrol Hysteresis Dynamometers have accuracy ratings of ± 0.25% full scale — depending on size and system configuration.
Features
- 16 Standard Models with Maximum Torque from 2.5 oz·in to 500 lb·in (18 mN·m to 56.5 N·m)
- Hysteresis Braking System: Provides precise torque loading independent of shaft speed
- Motor Testing from No Load to Locked Rotor
- Accuracy: ±0.25% (Full Scale)
- Air Flow Sensor: For protection against overheating and operator error
- Standard Torque Units: English, Metric and SI
- Custom Dynamometers: for special torque and speed requirements
- Easy Calibration
The Hysteresis Braking System
All Magtrol Hysteresis Dynamometers absorb power with a unique Hysteresis Braking System which provides frictionless torque loading independent of shaft speed. The Hysteresis Brake provides torque by the use of two basic components - a reticulated pole structure and a specialty steel rotor/shaft assembly - fitted together but not in physical contact. Until the pole structure is energized, the drag cup can spin freely on its shaft bearings. When a magnetizing force from the field coil is applied to the pole structure, the air gap becomes a flux field and the rotor is magnetically restrained, providing a braking action between the pole structure and rotor.

[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.
