Hysteresis brake, electrically adjustable
CTA is an electrically adjustable brake without the need of any external power supply for generating the braking force.
Applications • tension controlled unwinding • actuating element for tension control • simulation of load torques
- continuous adjustment of the braking force, electromotive
- adjusted brake torque remains even without external power supply
- cost-effective actuator for tension control
- durable, wearless and maintenance-free
- very smooth running and steady brake moment even at low rotational speeds
- compact design requires little space
- torque is independent of rotational speed in a wide range
The following schematic diagram shows, how to control the tension during the bobbin pass in an unwinding process.
