Rectifier - Universal Collection

These compact half-wave and bridge rectifiers are ideal for installation in space restricted junction boxes of brake motors. They can be delivered with flying leads or terminals for connection. Various accessories are available to meet different installation requirements.

These overexcitation rectifiers are designed to increase the attractive force and reduce the attraction time of actuating solenoids, to shorten the coupling and disconnection times of clutches and brakes and to decrease the power consumption of clutches, brakes and actuating solenoids. To increase the attractive force, the solenoid is overexcited during the overexcitation time, applying bridge rectified voltage. Then the rectifier changes over to the selected holding voltage which must not exceed the rated voltage of the solenoid.

ESM for AC-brakes: The module consists of a time-controlled rectifier with integral electronic fast turn-off. During start-up, the ESM delivers bridge-rectified output voltage before changing over to half-wave rectification. The built-in voltage sensor ensures that the DC side output voltage is interrupted electronically when AC input voltage is removed. Thanks to its compact design, the ESM can be installed in very restricted space. ESM for DC-brakes: The module keeps the voltage supplied to the electromagnetic device at a constant level over a wide input voltage and temperature range. Full operating voltage is applied to ensure fast switching when the load is switched on. The module then reduces the power supply to constant holding voltage. A 30% reduction provides power savings of 50%. The ESM is very compact thanks to the use of state-of-the-art microelectronic and power electronic components. Overexcitation time and holding voltage can be factory-programmed to customer demands.

Thanks to extremely compact design the overexcitation rectifier "Slim Collection" can be installed in very restricted space. The module features a central bore for screw fixing inside the terminal box. It can also be installed by using an adhesive pad.
