3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1 Engaged State
The state of the electromagnetic clutch after the driving plate and driven plate are coupled.
3.2 Disengaged State
The state of the electromagnetic clutch after the driving plate and driven plate are separated.
3.3 Engaged Gap
The distance between the driving plate and driven plate of the electromagnetic clutch in the disengaged state.
3.4 Single-stage Electromagnetic Clutch
An electromagnetic clutch that achieves two output speeds through the on/off switching of a single winding circuit.
3.5 Multistage Electromagnetic Clutch
An electromagnetic clutch that achieves multiple output speeds through the on/off switching of multiple winding circuits.
3.6 Power-off Separation Type Electromagnetic Clutch
An electromagnetic clutch where the driven plate separates from the driving plate when the winding circuit is de-energized.
3.7 Power-off Engaging Type Electromagnetic Clutch
An electromagnetic clutch where the driven plate engages with the driving plate when the winding circuit is de-energized.
3.8 Variable Speed Water Pump
A water pump capable of adjusting the impeller speed through an electromagnetic clutch.
3.9 Following Speed
The output speed of the electromagnetic clutch in the disengaged state.
3.10 Synchronized Speed
The output speed when the driven plate of the electromagnetic clutch rotates synchronously with the driving plate in the engaged state.
3.11 Multistage Speed
Output speeds of a multistage electromagnetic clutch other than the following speed and synchronized speed.
3.12 Static Friction Torque
The maximum torque that the electromagnetic clutch can transmit under conditions of room temperature and static engagement.
Note: Static friction torque includes static friction torque before break-in and static friction torque after break-in.
3.13 Engagement Voltage
