Torque Current Curves

Nominal performance characteristic curves similar to that shown are provided by Magtrol. Precise calibration curves for individual brakes can be provided, but must be specified at time of order and do require an additional charge. Contact Magtrol for price and delivery of brakes complete with calibration curves.

Pillow Blocks

Pillow Block Assemblies are available for all brake and clutch units except the HB-840, HB-3500 and HB-3500M.

                    [post_content] => 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. Magtrol Large Bore Brakes are used in machines for manufacturing cable, wire, fiber optic cable, rope and tape, among others. Magtrol Large Bore Brakes provide smooth, repeatable torque, largely independent of speed. Maximum speeds up to 8000 rpm are available.

These brakesconsist of two primary parts: a pole/case assembly and a rotor. The pole/case assembly is usually mounted in a stationary position within the machine, while the rotor is shaft mounted concentrically within the pole/case assembly.

The pole/case assembly and rotor are available are manufactured in standard bore sizes and hole patterns. Variations to the standard dimensions can be made based on customer requirements. Certain modifications to the brake, such as a larger bore dimension, may impact its performance ratings. Additional options available include rotor mounting flanges, power supplies, torque-current curves and other coil voltages. Contact Magtrol for more information.

Operating Considerations

Alignment Notes

    • The pole/case assembly and the rotor are shipped as separate items.
    • It is the responsibility of the machine designer to assure proper alignment of the mating brake parts in the final assembly.
    • These components must be mounted so that the concentricity and perpendicularity between the rotor and pole does not exceed the specified tolerances.
    • Refer to individual LB model drawings for further details.

Additional Information

    At the standard bore diameters, actual brake torque at rated current will normally exceed the minimum guaranteed values. Larger bore diameters can be provided, however, reductions in performance will result as bore diameters are increased. Any modification to a large bore brake should be reviewed in detail with Magtrol before ordering.

This is most commonly attained by using a closed loop servo control system which controls current to a braking device through the use of dancer arms, follower arms and in-line tension transducers. The problem with such systems is that each web or strand must be individually controlled, increasing the cost and complicating the system with multiple sensors and power supplies. 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%. The maximum deviation in torque from brake to brake at any point along their torque/current curve (from 0 torque up to the selected matched torque point) will be less than ±4% of the selected matched torque value. With this level of matching, a system with multiple tension rollers would provide tension consistency within ±1% if set at the matched point with all brakes receiving the same current. The matched point can be any value between 50% and 100% of rated torque, which allows the brakes to be optimized for specific applications. Unless otherwise specified, all brakes are matched at 100 rpm.

Typical vs. Matched Brakes

All single Magtrol Hysteresis Brakes can be matched. When ordering, replace the HB in the Hysteresis Brake model number with MHB. For Large Bore Brakes, LB is replaced with MLB.

This compact component is easy to mount (DIN-Rail snap-on) and recommended for easily controlling a wide range of brakes and clutches. The analog input of the Current-Regulated Supply Module is designed for 0 -10 VDC signals. At the maximum set value of 10 VDC, the output current is adjustable from 0 to 100 %. With the use of adjustable potentiometers, the zero point can be shifted from 0 to 20 %.
