Mag braking


Mag braking


Mag braking is explained by Lenz law as stated previously.

The purpose of the magnets is to produce a magnetic field within the reel with the spool. It does not rely on magnetic attraction, ie the spools are aluminium alloy in most cases which is non magnetic. How the 4 magnets North and South poles are placed will affect the magnetic field produced and hence the braking effect. Not sure how much it will effect braking.

I do not know the correct orientation of magnets but would suggest contacting manufacturer and asking or take a look in another reel.
