Product Features
⚡
The air-cooled electromagnetic eddy current brake, equipped with forced ventilation, retains the advantages of water-cooled designs — such as high braking torque and simple operation.
- ✔ The cooling system is simplified, eliminating the need for large water tanks, pumps, and pipelines, while avoiding freezing problems in cold climates.
- ✔ It prevents scaling and corrosion issues, ensuring that the air gap remains stable and braking torque remains reliable.
- ✔ It avoids the risk of coil burnout caused by operator error in water-cooled systems (e.g., failing to start the water pump).
- ✔ It eliminates failures caused by seal leakage, which can lead to coil damage and bearing breakdown in water-cooled brakes.
- ✔ Continuous forced ventilation allows effective heat dissipation even after braking stops, unlike water-cooled brakes where cooling ceases once rotation ends — ensuring safer operation during drill-in.
- ✔ Engineered for drilling rig safety systems, combining durability, safety, and compliance with API 7K, IEC, ISO 9001, and Chinese standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q
What is the rated braking torque of the MTDSF-50 Electromagnetic Eddy Current Brake?
The MTDSF-50 has a rated braking torque of 55,000 N·m, making it suitable for heavy-duty drilling rig applications with drilling depths up to 5,000 m using 5″ drill pipe.
Q
What are the main advantages of air-cooled over water-cooled electromagnetic eddy current brakes?
Air-cooled designs eliminate the need for water tanks, pumps, and pipelines, preventing freezing in cold climates, scaling, corrosion, and failures caused by seal leakage. They also provide continuous heat dissipation even after braking stops, which water-cooled systems cannot do once rotation ends.
Q
What certifications and standards does this eddy current brake comply with?
The MTDSF-50 is engineered in compliance with API 7K, IEC, ISO 9001, and Chinese national standards. Third-party inspection reports are available from Bureau Veritas (BV), CCS, ABS, SJS, and other recognized bodies.
Q
What is the cooling airflow requirement for the MTDSF-50?
The MTDSF-50 requires a cooling airflow of 12,000 m³/h, provided by its forced ventilation system to ensure reliable and continuous heat dissipation during and after braking operations.
Q
What is the coil configuration and insulation class of this electromagnetic brake?
The brake features 4 coils connected in a series-parallel configuration, with a rated resistance of 6.54 Ω ±10% per coil. The insulation class is Class H, providing excellent thermal resistance for high-demand environments.
Q
What are the overall dimensions and weight of the MTDSF-50 including the control system?
The overall dimensions of the MTDSF-50 are 2598 × 1850 × 1613 mm, and the total weight including the control system is 7,280 kg. The maximum excitation power is 15 kW with a maximum excitation current of 45 A.
