Eddy Current Tension Control: Contactless, Precise, And Efficient Technology For Industrial Applications
Eddy current tension systems utilize electromagnetic fields and eddy currents to provide precise and contactless tension control in industrial applications. These systems create a controlled magnetic field that induces eddy currents in a conductive material, enabling tension control and braking through the interaction of these currents with the magnetic field. Eddy current systems come in various types, including brakes, clutches, load simulators, and dynamometers, each designed for specific applications in industries such as web handling, material testing, and torque measurement. Their benefits include contactless operation, precision, efficiency, and versatility, making them essential for maintaining tension control in a wide range of industrial machinery.
