Hysteresis brake

The hysteresis brake is an improvement and can also be used in tension hoods of elder generation machines.
The hysteresis brake can replace the triple tension device and offers a variety of advantages.
After adjustment of the yarn tension at one spindle, all brakes are adjusted accordingly, no further measuring of the yarn tension is required.
The brake force is created by a magnetic field, not by friction, thus alterations of yarn tension by dirt are avoided.
The hysteresis brake can be used, in appropriate design, as creel tension device or as double tension device for „triple cabling“.

Further advantages:

  • No suspension in the untwisted thread.
  • Permanent control of the brake adjustment is possible.
  • More uniformity from position to position.
  • Can also be supplied with modern plastic, aluminium or stainless steel hoods.
