BASE MOUNTED HYSTERESIS BRAKES FEATURES ▪ Ideal for low-torque/high-speed applications with exceptional power ratings ▪ Torque up to 3,500 oz·in/26 N·m ▪ Speed: up to 12,000 rpm ▪ Power: up to 2,400 W ▪ Standard base mounting ▪ All metric dimensioning ▪ Torque independent of speed ▪ Long, maintenance-free life ▪ Magtrol hysteresis braking technology provides precise torque control independent of shaft speed ▪ Designed for use with Magtrol’s PT Series T-slot Base Plate mounting system (sold separately) ▪ EMC conforms to European standards Fig.1 : CHB Series Base Mounted Hysteresis Brake ▪ A variety of accessories and system options to choose from to create a simple and cost-effective test system 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 scheme– dancer roll, follower arm, photo or ultrasonic sensors ▪ Precise load control and programmed repeatability in fitness machines © 2023 MAGTROL | Due to continual product development, Magtrol reserves the right to modify specifications without forewa

CHB Series | Base Mounted Hysteresis Brake-2

H MAGTROLPRINCIPLES OF HYSTERESIS OVERVIEW The hysteresis effect in magnetism is applied to torque control by the use of two basic components -a reticulated pole structure and a specialty steel rotor/shaft assembly-fastened together but not in physical contact. Until the field coil is energized, the drag cup can spin freely on the ball bearings. When a magnetizing force from either a field coil or magnet is applied to the pole structure, the air gap becomes a flux field. The rotor is rotor — magnetically restrained, <Dra9 Cup) providing a braking action between the pole structure hub and rotor....
