hysteresiselectromagneticelectromechanical

DESCRITPTION Magtrol pioneered the technology of applying the principles of hysteresis to meet the critical needs for reliable, smooth and adjustable torque control. Magtrol’s 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 ▪ Precise control of wire tension during wind, hook and cut operation of high-speed automated winding machines ▪ Frictionless, non-breakaway force for tensioning materials during slitting and many other material processing operations ▪ Load simulation applications for life testing on electric motors, actuators, small gas engines, gearboxes, and many other rotating devices and assemblies ▪ Open-loop control for maintaining precise tension during winding process in transformer and coil winding operations ▪ Holding of backdriving loads ▪ Ultimate tension control, regardless of control schemedancer roll, follower arm, photo or ultrasonic sensors ▪ Precise load control and programmed repeatability in fitness machines
