AHB Series | Compressed-Air-Cooled Hysteresis Brakes

DESCRIPTION
When torque control/torque measurement must be performed at the highest possible power, Magtrol AHBSeries Hysteresis Brakes are ideal. Passages running through the brakes enables compressed air cooling, providing excellent heat dissipation. This design allows for continuous power ratings up to 3000W (5300W intermittent). Use of pre-loaded bearings in the AHBSeries Hysteresis Brakes allows operation at speeds of up to 35000rpm for extended durations. AHB Brakes are conveniently base mounted. Base mounting, with integral barrier type terminal strip, provides easy mounting and wiring.

APPLICATIONS
Magtrol’s AHBSeries Compressed-Air-Cooled Hysteresis Brakes can function in either torque measurement or torque control applications. When mounted to a PT Series T-slot Base Plate, a costeffective, basic motor test rig can be easily configured. For this purpose, Magtrol offers several accessories and system options to choose from. The simplest test bench may include one or two AHB Brakes and an AMF (Adjustable Motor Fixture) mounted onto a PTSeries (Base Plate). Adding a TS or TMSeries (In-Line Torque Transducer), couplings, FRS (Free-Run Speed Sensor), MODEL3411 (Torque Display) or DSP7000 (Dynamometer Controller) greatly expands the system’s motor testing capabilities. Other accessories available from Magtrol include: power supplies, air filters, pressure gauge kits, air lines, pipe fittings, jack shafts and risers. In addition to motor test applications, AHBSeries CompressedAir-Cooled Hysteresis Brakes can be used for the following:
▪ Durability/reliability verification
▪ Brush run-in
▪ Carburetor tuning
▪ High-speed tension control
