5242 – Power Amplifier

Product Description

The Model 5242 is a voltage-controlled power amplifier designed exclusively for Magtrol’s Model HD‑825 Hysteresis Dynamometer. Because of its double braking system, the HD‑825 requires more than 4 amps of power in order to reach full torque. The 5242 (which can provide up to 5 amps of output current) is necessary in order to amplify the power between the DSP7010 Controller (which has a maximum current output of 1 amp) and the HD-825 Dynamometer.

Specifications

Current Output 0 to 5 A DC
Control Input 0 to +3 V DC or 0 to -10 V DC
Fuses (5×20 mm) Brake: UL/CSA IEC 6.3A 5A 125 250 VSB VT
Power (120 V): UL/CSA 3A 250 VSB
Power (240 V): IEC 1.25A 250 VT
Power Requirements 330 VA
Voltage Requirements 120/240 V 60/50 Hz

Ordering Information

If the HD-825 is purchased without a dynamometer controller, please inform Magtrol of your controller model—as it may be necessary to modify your existing controller so that it functions properly with the 5242 Power Amplifier.

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.

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.
