Highly Reliable Hysteresis Devices for Tension and Torque Control

Product catalog summary
Overview
Magtrol offers a range of highly reliable hysteresis devices for tension and torque control, including brakes and clutches. These devices are designed for long, maintenance-free life, operational smoothness, and superior torque repeatability across a broad speed range.

Types of Brakes and Clutches
  • Hysteresis Brakes: Operate through a magnetic air gap, providing smooth torque without magnetic particles or friction components. Ideal for precise tension control.
  • Compressed-Air-Cooled Brakes: Feature passages for air cooling, allowing high power torque control and measurement.
  • Matched Brakes: Ensure consistent performance across units by matching torque and current points within a ±1% tolerance.
  • Hysteresis Clutches: Provide smooth torque transmission through a magnetic air gap, eliminating contamination risks.
  • Large Bore Brakes: Designed for applications requiring superior tension control, such as cable and wire manufacturing.
  • Permanent Magnet Brakes & Clutches: Suitable for applications without electrical power, offering fixed or adjustable torque.

Technical Specifications
Brakes and clutches are available in both metric and English ratings, with detailed specifications including torque, current, resistance, voltage, power, speed, and kinetic power. These specifications ensure optimal performance and reliability under various conditions.

Power Supplies
Magtrol provides several power supply models to control and regulate braking torque, including:
  • Model 5200: Unregulated power supply with a 10-turn potentiometer for torque control.
  • Model 5211: Current regulated power supply to eliminate torque drift.
  • Model 5251-2: Open frame, current regulated power supply for smooth current application.
  • VM Series Proportional Amplifier/Controller: Supplies and controls current for various Magtrol brakes and clutches.

Options and Modifications
Magtrol offers various options and modifications to meet specific application needs, including higher torque capabilities, special shaft configurations, dust covers, speed pickups, and non-standard coil voltages.

Highly Reliable Hysteresis Devices for Tension and Torque Control-3

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. ENGLISH BRAKE RATINGS * Kinetic power ratings are maximum values based on limiting coil and/or bearing temperature to approximately 100 °C, and...

Highly Reliable Hysteresis Devices for Tension and Torque Control-4

Magtrol has developed a system to assure that every brake of a given model designation will be matched, at a predetermined torque and current point, to other brakes of the same model designation regardless of material and manufacturing tolerances. Each brake will be matched at the selected match point to within a tolerance of ±1%. ENGLISH BRAKE RATINGS * 12 VDC, 90 VDC and non-standard coil voltages are available on all models. ** Kinetic power ratings are maximum values based on limiting coil and/or bearng temperature to approximately 100 °C, and should not be exceeded. Actual values in service...

Highly Reliable Hysteresis Devices for Tension and Torque Control-5

For many years Magtrol has designed Hysteresis Brakes with large bores, and without a shaft or bearings. These brakes are used for superior tension control for helical wrapping, braiding and other feed through applications in machines used for manufacturing cable, wire, fiber optic cable, rope and tape, among others. Magtrol Large Bore Brakes provide smooth, repeatable torque, largely independent of speed. * Permanent Magnet Brakes can be charged at factory to produce lower torque if desired. ** Maximum speed listed will produce 5-minute kinetic power rating at rated torque.

Model 5200 Power Supply Model 5200 is an unregulated 0-35 V DC Power Supply which offers control and regulation of the braking torque via a 10-turn potentiometer. Model 5211 Current Regulated Power Supply Model 5211 Power Supply The Model 5211 provides the same control capabilities as the 5200, and also provides current regulation of the brake. With regulated current, the 5211 will eliminate torque drift caused by temperature changes within the brake coil. Model 5251-2 Current Regulated Power Supply Model 5251-2 is an open frame, current regulated power supply that provides smooth application...
