Magnetic tensioning brakes: Sjogren Industries innovates unwinding operations

Sjogren Industries has been a leader in the wire tooling industry for more than 90 years. By providing its customers with high-customizable equipment, the American company is a benchmark in a variety of fields.

According to Sjogren Industries, “simple ideas make better solutions”: this philosophy shines through the entire corporate product portfolio, from straighteners, to grooved rolls, to magnetic brakes and clutches. Speaking of which, the company’s Hysteresis Tensioning Brakes are designed to control torque variations and preserve drive train life in winding operations. This particular type of brakes is mechanically assembled – not welded – to streamline bearing replacements. Moreover, by relying on magnetic resistance, they require no external power source, nor they experience friction wear. Additionally, these brakes do not require external adjustments to provide constant tension, as the feedback arm automatically adjusts the torque.
