Pneumatic Tension Device with Manual Traversing and Indexing

(Model 4822)

Layer and field winding coil operations are known to be time consuming! Well, you can now upgrade the process and reduce the winding time with the ACE Model 4822. A pneumatic tension device, this model is provided with manual traversing and indexing capabilities. The primary objective of this device is to reduce the time required for wire insertion and layer winding. This versatile tension and wire guiding system assists the operator in producing AC and DC quality layer wound and field coils under tension at high speeds.

Design & Function

The model 4822 tension device is designed to provide winding solutions for multiple wiring. Flat, square, round, or rectangular wires used in transformer winding operations are handled with this device. ACE provides these devices as manually operated. These devices are simple to understand and easy to use.

The device comprises the following components:

  • Aluminum plate
  • Plastic plates
  • Pressure plates
  • Heavy duty housing
  • Linear rails

The pressure plates are placed in the heavy duty housing. When a wire passes through the pressure plates, a certain amount of controlled pressure is applied to it through pneumatics. As the pressure is controlled, the plates do not damage the wire’s insulation. The wire also passes through the high density plastic plates, which are installed between the steel plates. These plates are designed to minimize damage to enamel, paper insulation, glass wrap, etc.

The device is capable of performing two types of winding processes:

  • Field Winding: An optional Indexing system is supplied with 1/4” Dia. holes 1” apart (standard). Customer may easily install other indexing plates designed with holes for their winding fixtures. Merely press the Indexing Wire Guide button to move the device from hole to hole (slot to slot on your winding fixture).

  • Layer Winding: The slightest linear movement of the wire, as it passes through the tension housing, results in an equal linear movement of the plate on which the tensioner is mounted to. Linear movement of the tension housing assists the operator in positioning the wire on the coil of your rotating winding fixture for layer winding to help reduce crossovers. The low coefficient of friction between the tension housing and linear slides permits the almost freely floating tension housing to precisely track the smallest linear motion of the wire for layer winding a coil.
 

Optional Components

ACE also suggests the following optional components, which can enhance the pneumatic device’s performance:
  • Filter
  • Gauge
  • On-off air valve
  • Pressure regulator
  • Connecting air hoses with fittings
  • Indexing system
  • Traversing Arm

Accessory Options

Depending on the client’s requirement and application, ACE also provides ancillary equipment to enhance process efficiency, and ensure effective coil winding.

  • Wire Guide Rollers
  • Tension Housing
  • Tension Plates
  • Pneumatic Actuator
  • Tension Sensor
  • Manual Valve

The wire guide rollers are fastened to the front and back of the tension housing. These are used to guide the wire through the device. The tension housing comprises the tension plates, as well as other mechanical components. During the winding process, the pneumatic actuator helps apply downward pressure on the tension plates. The tension sensor utilizes a load cell to convert wire tension into an electrical signal. This allows precise measurement of the wire tensioning process.
