Pure Hysteresis Brakes produce torque strictly through a magnetic air gap without the use of magnetic particles or friction components. This method of braking provides far superior operating characteristics (smoother torque, longer life, superior repeatability, high degree of controllability, and less maintenance and down time) which make them the preferred choice for precise tension control during the processing of nearly any material, web or strand.
Applications
Magtrol Hysteresis Brakes provide precise tensioning for: armature and coil winding, printing and labeling, wire marking, braiding, material slitting, sheeting, weaving, and many other material process applications. They are ideal for any material, strand or web, including: copper wire, fiber-optic cable, textiles, tapes, films, foils, paper, rubber products, nylon, and many others.
