Bell ringing with linear induction motors

Linear motor Over 20 years of experience guarantees that our linear induction motors are the state- of-the-art of the automated bell ringing systems. Unlike the conventional rotary motors, the linear induction motors produces a linear force along its length, which is ideal for bell ringing.

Features

  • The moving of armature is vertical like the human ringings
  • The bell rings at its own speed and period time, but the ringing angle is controlled
  • The linear motor’s sliping induction magnetic field is a superior soft coupling
  • Powerful ringing force, without rough mechanical transients like in rotational motors
  • No need of chains, sprockets and springs
  • No need of bounding of the clapper
  • Easy installation for any types of headstocks, no need of remaking of the headstock and the wheel
  • No need of large electric cupboards
  • No need of frames for AC motors
  • The induction motor can be built in on the roof under the bell with the towrope on its own foot
  • The mechanical tasks of the local installation are minimized
  • Group of motors could be made in case of bigger bells (above 1500kg), the motors can be screwed together
  • Intelligent embedded system as a regulator
  • Integrated electronic sensors, professional regulator software
  • Regulated swinging up and breaking
  • The swinging angle could be regulated 5 degrees accuracy at least
  • Automatic regulator’s parameter identification, approx. 5 minutes setting time
  • No user interface, configurable via ANSI/VT100 terminals
  • Integrated power electronics without electromechanical relays

We offer two base types of linear induction motors, with which the whole bell weight range could be covered.
