AHB Series Compressed-air-cooled Hysteresis Brakes |
   |
| |
When torque control/torque measurement must be performed at the highest possible power, Magtrol AHB Series Hysteresis Brakes are ideal. Passages running through the brakes enables compressed air cooling, providing
excellent heat dissipation. This design allows for continuous power ratings
up to 3000 watts (5300 watts intermittent). Use of pre-loaded bearings in the
AHB Series Hysteresis Brakes allows operation at speeds of up to
25,000 rpm for extended durations.
AHB Brakes are conveniently base mounted. Base mounting, with integral
barrier type terminal strip, provides easy mounting and wiring. |

Features |
Magtrol’s AHB Series Compressed-air-cooled Hysteresis Brakes can function in either torque measurement or torque control applications. When mounted to the PT 25 Series T-slot Base Plate, a cost-effective, basic motor test rig can be easily configured. For this purpose, Magtrol offers several accessories and system options to choose from. The simplest test bench may include one or two AHB Brakes and an AMF Adjustable Motor Fixture mounted onto a PT Base Plate. Adding a TM Series In-Line Torque Transducer, couplings, FR10 Free-Run Speed Sensor, 3410 Torque Display or DSP6001 Controller greatly expands the system’s motor testing capabilities.
Other accessories available from Magtrol include: power supplies, air filters, pressure gauge kits, air lines, pipe fittings, jack shafts and risers.
In addition to motor test applications, AHB Series Compressed-air-cooled Hysteresis Brakes can be used for the following:
- Durability/reliability verification

| *The air pressure to the (at the) brake will be called out at 85 to 95 PSI. This range is thought to allow a user to directly attach to a compressor line without local regulation and filtering. |

| System Options |
| Click on the component name for more information. Scroll down for optional accessories. |
| Open-loop Systems |
| A characteristic of the open-loop system is that it does not use feedback to determine if its input has achieved the desired goal. This means that the system does not react to the output of the processes that it is controlling.
An open-loop controller is often used in simple test setups because of its simplicity and low cost, especially in systems where feedback is not critical. Below is an example of an open-loop system. |
|
|
| Closed-loop Systems |
A characteristic of the closed-loop system is that it uses feedback to determine if its input has achieved the desired goal. This means that the system reacts to the output of the processes that it is controlling.
A closed-loop controller is often used because of its ability to repeatedly return to a desired controlled point. Below is an example of a closed-loop system. |

| Optional Accessories |
 |
TM Risers
Many times, the AHB Brake will be used with one of Magtrol’s TM Series In-Line Torque Transducers. Risers lift the appropriate TM from the PT to the shaft height of the brake. The riser is complete with attachment hardware for the TM and T-Nuts and bolts for attachment to the PT 25 Base Plate.
• Detailed dimension drawings |
|
 |
Jack Shafts
For each brake there is an appropriately sized hardened jack shaft, complete with T-Nuts and shoulder bolts, that will mount to PT 25 Base Plate. |
|
 |
Air Filter Kit
In order to ensure optimal life, the compressed air supply used to cool AHB Series Hysteresis Brakes must be free of contamination, including water, oil, rust scale, dust, etc. For optimal performance, Magtrol recommends the use of a 5 micron coalescing filter. Air filter kits purchased from Magtrol include the filter and a mounting bracket for attaching the air filter to the PT Base Plate. |
|
 |
Pressure Gauge Kit
To ensure proper air volume Magtrol offers a pressure gauge kit, including “T” connector and tube (as shown), to be used in-line with the air supply line. |
|
Power Supplies
AHB Series Compressed-air-cooled Hysteresis Brakes provide torque that is proportional to the current applied. During normal operation, the coil resistance of an AHB Brake will change with temperature. To eliminate the resulting torque drift, Magtrol recommends using a current-regulated power supply, such as the Model 5210 or the Lambda ZUP36-6. Refer to the note about power supplies under “Accessory Ordering Information” in the data sheet for more details. |

• Connection Cables: brake to controller; power supply to brake; controller to power supply
• Couplings: brake to in-line torque transducer
• Air Supply Lines: 8 mm and 10 mm outside diameter; sold by the meter
