THEORY OF OPERATION

The brake consists of a stator, rotor, coil, stator ring, shaft, magnetic powder and bearings which support and align
the rotor in the stator.
The magnetic powder occupies the space between the rotor and the coil. This magnetic powder is the key element
in the brake in that it functions as the variable bond or link between the rotor and the stationary coil. The coil is
secured to the stator and the stator is connected to ground (machine frame) through a torque arm.
A current in the coil creates a magnetic field (flux) which passes through the rotor, the coil housing, and the
magnetic powder. The flux aligns the powder forming links or bonds between the rotor and the coil. The degree of
bond action is directly proportional to the amount of current in the coil.
