[Solenoid Application Example] Audio Equipment - Pause Device

Examples of applications for pause devices in cassette tape recorders, video recorders, etc.

We will introduce an example of applying the SDC type solenoid to the pause mechanism of cassette tape recorders and video recorders. This device is used when you want to temporarily stop the tape feed while using a tape recorder or video recorder, and it is done without operating the rotation drive source. The diagram shows the state where the solenoid is energized, the brake plate is separated from the feed roller, and the feed roller is rotating due to the drive roller. When the tape feed stops simultaneously with the release of the pinch roller along with the pause signal, the solenoid is de-energized, and the brake plate locks the feed roller with the force of the spring. As a result, the tape winding stops, and the tape comes to a complete stop. However, due to the clutch mechanism, the drive roller and the linked roller continue to rotate, and upon the release of the pause signal, the solenoid pulls the brake plate again, and the feed roller starts to rotate. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
