As the demand for smaller motors increases, so does the need for small-diameter brakes and other small components. With recent technological advancements, electromagnetic brakes are able to generate powerful torque even in compact sizes. SEPAC is recognized for our capability to customize standard brake and clutch products to meet the application requirements of our customers. […]
Click to Expand The first step in fixing something is to understand how it works. Permanent magnet brakes (PMBs) are a form of brake that uses permanent magnets to provide the normal magnetic force necessary to attract the armature and produce torque. Permanent magnet brakes are used to hold or stop a load. Also called […]
Robotics is rapidly advancing, with new developments and capabilities emerging every day across multiple sections of this industry. Applications ranging from oil and gas excavations to military and transportation projects rely on underwater robotics to achieve explorative missions, maintenance, and more. Today’s electronic and electrical based robotics systems offer fine-tuned movements, powerful motion, and new […]
Click to Expand Control fins on the bodies of missiles adjust their flight path and help ensure missiles hit their intended targets. The main component used to position these fins is a missile fin actuator, which maneuvers the fins according to a missile’s onboard processor instructions. As there can be no room for error when […]
