Electron Brake Disk Electromagnet Version 2016 on 39mm Disc (3 Hole)
Electron Brake Disk Version 2016 on Includes: 1x Brake Disk.
Our retraction systems electronics (RB-45, RS-200, GS-200), incorporate a brake control. If you are using only the wheels and brakes, you can buy the E_Brakes controller
Electron’s philosophy is ” improvement is always possible” and 2015 was dedicated to improving the magnetic brakes, and their controller, thus resulting in a more reliable system.
Traditionally, breaking systems become unbalanced with use. Electron significantly reduced this effect by means of the following:
Mechanically: The new disk is completely smooth, and the magnet has the polyurethane pad integrated to it. This configuration allows more consistent pressure and as such makes it less prone to imbalance. Also the gap between the disk and magnet is less, which also provides greater breaking power. Like the first version, the friction is between disc and polyurethane pad (never metal to metal). This is to avoid any residual magnetism, and allows the main wheels be completely free as soon as the brakes go off.
Electrically: A new high tech control unit with internal gyroscope has been developed. The gyro will compensate for any imbalance between the main wheels, and to help keep the models trajectory on the runway. This controller (GS200) does this by mixing the brakes with the steering. This is especially helpful in warbrids.
Wheels configuration
The next drawing shows the width from the magnet surface to the external bearing, and to the tyre. The tyre is an approximate width, because it can vary about 2mm between different tyre sizes. Anti-rotation pin distance is shown in the second drawing:
