A magnetic powder brake is a controllable braking component used in unwind, rewind and tension-control sections of roll-to-roll production lines. By adjusting excitation current, it provides smooth and stable braking torque to help maintain web tension during printing, coating, laminating, slitting and converting processes.
When current is applied to the excitation coil, magnetic powder inside the brake forms particle chains under the magnetic field. These chains transmit torque between the rotating and fixed sides. Changing the excitation current changes the transmitted torque, allowing the machine to control braking force smoothly.
