Kendrion Binder Magnete GmbH now offers state-of-the-art electronic modules designed to optimise the control of electromagnetic brakes, solenoids and solenoid valves in terms of efficiency and longevity. These conveniently priced modules use PWM control to adjust the amount of power supplied to the load. Depending on the design of the electromagnetic device, the following effects can be achieved: • shorter switching times when operating voltage is applied:

• stronger attractive force
• increased stroke or
• reduced power consumption
• lower thermal stress
• longer lifecycle
• shorter switching times when operating voltage is removed compared to standard conditions

Technical specifications:

Input voltage range:	18 - 40 VDC
Overexcitation voltage:	input voltage or max. 30 VDC
Holding voltage:	10% – 90% of rated voltage
Output current:	up to 2.5 A
Ambient temperature range:	-20 to +85 °C
Overexcitation time:	200 / 500 ms (other times upon request)
Voltage control:	with pulse-width modulation (PWM)
Basic frequency:	500 Hz (other frequencies upon request)

These modules are very compact and conveniently priced thanks to the consistent use of state-of-the-art microelectronics and power electronics components.
