Intelli-Swing
Nothing makes a more joyful sound than a peal of swinging church bells. We offer the broadest line of components available for swinging your bells exactly the way you want. Your intelliSwing™ system can include new bells from one of our partner bell foundries or we can custom design a ringing system for your existing bells.
MagForce™ drive
Includes the intelli-Swing Precision motor computer
Bi-directional drive
Touch-less, friction-less and nearly silent running
Stationary drive module induces electro-motive eddy current forces into an aluminum reaction plate mounted to the free swinging bell assembly propelling it into motion by the opposing magnetic field
Needs no wheel like rotary drives. This fact either frees up an existing wheel for traditional rope pulled ringing or presents an architecturally clean design in an open tower
Maintenance free motor never needs bearings or lubrication
Standard magnetic proximity sensor feedback for pendulum timing approximates the swinging angle
Optional precision bell crank shaft rotary encoder for angular settings to a tenth of a degree
Rotary chain drive
Bi-directional drive
Motor shaft mounted optical feedback for motor speed and direction detection
Heavy-duty nickel-plated (stainless optional) number 40 chain
Totally enclosed motor with stainless steel sealed ball bearings
Wheel mounting hardware made with all stainless steel
Requires a sturdy steel bell wheel (optional accessory)
Dual motor systems are available to swing bells from to 8 to 16-tons
Rotary belt drive
As above with ultra-quiet belt drive
Suitable for enclosed tower bells with louvers to protect the belt from UV radiation
