Magnetbetätigte

Magnetbetätigte refers to a mechanism or device that is operated or controlled by magnetic force. This principle is employed in a variety of applications, often where direct mechanical linkage is impractical or undesirable. The core concept involves using electromagnets or permanent magnets to initiate or facilitate movement, switching, or activation of a component.

In the context of electrical engineering, magnetbetätigte components are frequently found in relays. A relay uses an electromagnet to mechanically operate a switch, allowing a low-power circuit to control a high-power circuit. This is a fundamental way to achieve electrical isolation and remote control. Similarly, solenoid valves are a common example of magnetbetätigte devices. When an electric current flows through a coil, it generates a magnetic field that moves a plunger, opening or closing a valve to control fluid flow.

The term can also extend to mechanical systems. For instance, some types of brakes, particularly in industrial machinery or electric vehicles, can be magnetbetätigte. These brakes utilize magnetic attraction or repulsion to apply braking force. The precise operation depends on the design, but the underlying principle remains the use of magnetic fields to generate the necessary force for actuation. The advantage of magnetbetätigte systems often lies in their speed, reliability, and ability to be controlled electronically.
