Brakes
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.

View ProductRead moreMHB Series – Matched Hysteresis Brakes
In tension control applications that have multiple webs or multiple strands, it is very desirable to match the tension of each web or strand. 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… Read more »

View ProductRead moreAHB 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… Read more »
