Schaumburg, IL - December 30, 2008 - Misumi USA announces a line of magnetic transmission drive components, ideally suited for design applications where the non-contacting components result in ultra low dust generation. These applications include many cleanroom assembly operations in the semiconductor, circuit board, business appliance, military ordnance, aerospace and consumer electronics markets. Additional applications include those where the low noise and minimal vibration caused by these components are critical to the assembly or transfer mechanism performance. These magnetic drive components operate on the principle of attractive force and thus function without contact. Depending on the transmission direction desired, Type MDQ allows perpendicular alignment, while Type MDY allows parallel alignment. All components are housed in 5056 aluminum with a gas emission prevention treatment. Outside diameters from 16-35mm and inside diameters from 6-20mm are offered, with unit prices starting at $34.00. Standard delivery is eight days. Once the alignment configuration is known, a designer can calculate the required quantity needed, based on the size and distance of the workload to be carried. Then, a calculation of the required torque can be made, based on the weight of the workload and specified quantity ordered. Misumi magnetic transmission drive components are ordered in pairs and should not be used with other manufacturers’ magnets or components. All flux rate by temperature, torque rate by distance change and magnetic flux density by distance from the drive specifications are included in the new Misumi catalog, which can be ordered in print or accessed online.
