Theory of Operation

Drive Transmission

The electromagnetic Clutch in the printer controls the rotation of the Roller by

transferring torque from the Motor to the Roller.

The electromagnetic Clutch becomes an electromagnetic by transferring

electric current through the coil inside the case and attracts the armature and

gear to the rotating rotor, which rotates the Gear.

When the Coil lost its power, electromagnetic force is lost and the armature

comes off the rotor, and the Gear stops rotating.

The Clutch makes very soft noise. When verifying the Clutch operation,

ensure to stay close to the component in order to hear to the sound.
