In operations requiring consistent and responsive tension control, the Magnetic Powder Brake from Cbbmachine delivers a dependable solution tailored for precise torque management. This component plays a critical role in converting, slitting, printing, and other web-handling processes that rely on stability and control during material movement.
Using a magnetic field to manipulate powder between the rotor and stator, the brake generates torque proportional to current input—offering smooth, adjustable resistance without mechanical wear. This design allows for frictionless braking, especially useful in high-speed applications where sudden changes in speed or load must be managed in real time.
Its low inertia and wide torque range make the magnetic powder brake ideal for materials sensitive to stretching or slippage, such as films, foils, or specialty laminates. By maintaining stable tension, the brake prevents defects like wrinkling or misalignment, contributing to better production yield and reduced material waste.
Additionally, it operates quietly and responds quickly to electronic signals, which makes it compatible with both manual and automated tension control systems. Whether integrated into a new machine build or retrofitted into existing equipment, it can adapt to diverse production environments with minimal space requirements.
The unit's compact structure and low maintenance design further support continuous operation. Since it generates little heat and requires no lubrication, the risk of contamination or thermal degradation to sensitive materials is significantly reduced. Its performance remains consistent over long production runs, improving process stability and operator control.
When used alongside sensors or controllers, this brake becomes a key player in automated web handling systems—ensuring reliable feedback and response even in complex multi-zone setups.
