Product Description
ZKB Series Mitsubishi Magnetic Powder Clutch And Brake Tension Control
Product Overview
The Mitsubishi ZKB Series represents a premium line of Magnetic Powder Clutches and Brakes designed for high-precision industrial tension control. While "ZKB-0" typically refers to the base series designation in ordering systems, the specific models are defined by suffixes and torque ratings (e.g., ZKB-0.06AN, ZKB-0.3YN, ZKB-1.2BN).
These units are the "muscle" behind web handling machinery, utilizing magnetic powder to transmit torque smoothly and linearly. When voltage is applied to the stationary coil, magnetic particles align to create a solid magnetic chain, connecting the input and output shafts without physical contact. This provides exceptional durability, instant response, and precise torque regulation for applications ranging from paper printing to steel processing.
Key Features & Benefits
  • Linear Torque Control: Torque is strictly proportional to the excitation current, allowing for precise adjustments from 0% to 100% of rated torque simply by varying the voltage (0-24V DC).
  • Non-Contact Operation: Since there is no mechanical friction between the rotating parts (only magnetic coupling), wear is virtually eliminated, ensuring a long service life and maintenance-free operation.
  • High Heat Dissipation: Designed with robust aluminum housings and cooling fins. Larger models (BN/WN/HBN series) feature built-in air ducts or internal cooling fans to handle high-slip heat generation.
  • Instant Response: Extremely fast actuation time (milliseconds) makes these ideal for dynamic tension correction systems.
  • Smooth Operation: Magnetic powder ensures "soft" start and stop characteristics, preventing web breakage or material damage (e.g., film stretching, paper tearing).
  • Versatile Mounting: Available in various shaft configurations (Solid shaft, Hollow shaft, Double shaft) to fit different mechanical designs.
Technical Specifications (Selected Models)
The "ZKB-0" prefix covers a wide range of torque capacities. Below are the most common industrial standards:
Model Suffix Rated Torque (N·m) Rated Current (A) Max Allowable Speed (rpm) Moment of Inertia (kg·m²) Weight (kg) Cooling Method Application
ZKB-0.06AN 0.6 0.46 1800 6.1×10⁻⁵ 1.7 Natural Air Light tension, small rollers
ZKB-0.3AN 3.0 0.53 1800 3.0×10⁻⁴ 3.1 Natural Air Printing presses, labeling machines
ZKB-0.6AN 6.0 0.81 1800 6.0×10⁻⁴ 3.7 Natural Air Packaging machinery, wire coating
ZKB-1.2BN 12.0 1.20 1500 1.1×10⁻³ 6.5 Forced Air (Fan) Paper making, medium-duty winders
ZKB-2.5BN 25.0 1.80 1200 2.5×10⁻³ 11.0 Forced Air (Fan) Steel strip processing, laminators
ZKB-5.0BN 50.0 2.50 1000 4.8×10⁻³ 18.0 Forced Air (Fan) Heavy-duty unwinders/rewinders
ZKB-10BN 100.0 3.80 800 9.5×10⁻³ 32.0 Forced Air (Fan) High-tension industrial lines
Suffix Key
  • AN: Natural cooling, general purpose.
  • YN: Extended shaft, natural cooling.
  • BN: Forced air cooling (built-in fan/duct), high torque.
  • WN: Water-cooled (for extreme heat dissipation).
  • HBN: High-performance forced air with enhanced heat sink.
Typical Applications
The ZKB series is essential for any industry processing "web" materials:
  • Printing & Paper: Web tension control on offset printers, flexo printers, and paper cutters.
  • Packaging: Film unwinding/rewinding, bag making machines, and labeling units.
  • Textiles: Yarn twisting, weaving looms, and fabric calendering.
  • Metallurgy: Tension control for aluminum foil, copper foil, and steel strip annealing lines.
  • Plastics: Extrusion lines, blow molding, and sheet calendering.
  • Cable & Wire: Insulation coating and stranding machines.
System Integration
To function, the ZKB unit must be paired with a Tension Controller (such as Mitsubishi's LE-40MTA or LD-30FTA) and a Tension Sensor (Load cell or dancer roller).
  1. The sensor detects the actual tension of the material.
  2. The controller compares the actual tension to the setpoint.
  3. The controller adjusts the DC voltage (0-24V/90V) sent to the ZKB clutch/brake.
  4. The ZKB adjusts the torque output to maintain perfect tension.
Ordering Information
  • Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Electric
  • Product Family: ZKB Series (Magnetic Powder Clutch/Brake)
  • Note on "ZKB-0": When ordering, the "0" is a placeholder for the specific torque rating. You must specify the full model number (e.g., ZKB-0.6AN) based on the required torque and cooling method.
  • Compatibility: These units are compatible with universal tension controllers (0-10V or 0-24V DC output) from brands like Mitsubishi, Keyence, and Panasonic.
