Hysteresis Brakes
Torque is proportional to input current, and independent of RPM. Torque is especially smooth, even at near-zero RPM. Also good for light tension / high RPM applications, due to good heat dissipation ratings. All models except H3 have the Cog-Buster which keeps slip torque smooth.
- Producing tension for unwinding wire, fiber optic cable, and narrow webs.
- Load simulation for testing electric motors.
- Applications requiring light tension / wide RPM capability.
- Is proportional to input current.
- Is independent of RPM.
- Is especially smooth, even at near-zero RPM.
- Imperial Unit – Torque Range: 0.04 -2.5 to 7-250 (oz-in)
- Metric Unit – Torque Range: 0.03-1.77 to 4.3-177 (Newton-cm)
- Torque is produced without friction plates or magnetic particles. Life is extremely long, even at high RPM, because torque is produced magnetically across an air gap.
- Slip torque is extremely smooth, even down to zero RPM. Placid Industries' Cog-Buster automatically de-cogs the brake within one revolution of the shaft.
- With no electrical excitation, the shaft freely rotates.
- With electrical excitation, the shaft becomes coupled to the case.
- While the load torque is less than the output torque, the shaft won’t rotate continuously.
- When the load torque is increased, the brake will slip smoothly at the torque level set by the coil input current.
- Not suitable for precise positioning applications
Mounts in any orientation.
