Abstract
A device for deflecting wire-rod strand moving at high speed. The invention permits the safe deflection of any lengths of the wire-rod strand especially at high product speeds. High forces adjustable within wide limits are temporarily applied to the product without substantially reducing the kinetic energy of the product or impairing its smooth travel. The high forces are electromagnetic forces which are applied temporarily to the wire-rod rolling stock perpendicular to the direction of product travel. These forces are generated by a current flowing through the product and a stationary current conductor opposing the wire-rod strand in approximately the same plane. The electromagnetic forces deflect the wire-rod strand away from the current conductor. In addition, a second device may be placed opposite the first device to apply an opposing force to the wire-rod strand.
