How to Determine if an Electromagnetic Clutch is Faulty?
1 Answers
Faults in an electromagnetic clutch generally manifest in the following aspects: 1. Failure to start normally, input voltage to the electromagnetic clutch is too low, unstable power, slipping, or overheating. The troubleshooting method is to check whether the input voltage meets the required voltage for the electromagnetic clutch. 2. Coil short circuit. It is rare for the electromagnetic coil to actually burn out; usually, the issue arises from the detachment or loosening of the coil lead wire at the welding point with the slip ring, poor contact, or burnout at the connection point leading to an open circuit. 3. Unstable operation. This is most likely due to unstable input voltage. Check if the power supply's capacity is about 1.5 times the rated power of the electromagnetic clutch, with voltage fluctuations around 5%.
