BHB Series | Blower Cooled Hysteresis Brake

DESCRIPTION
When torque control/torque measurement must be performed at the highest possible power, Magtrol BHB Series Hysteresis Brakes are ideal. This design allows for continuous power ratings up to 6000 watts (7000 watts intermittent). Use of pre-loaded bearings in the BHB Series Hysteresis Brakes allows operation at speeds of up to 20,000 rpm for extended durations. BHB Brakes are conveniently base mounted. Base mounting, with integral barrier type terminal strip, provides easy mounting and wiring.

APPLICATIONS
Magtrol’s BHB Series Blower Cooled Hysteresis Brakes can function in either torque measurement or torque control applications. When mounted to a PT Series T-slot Base Plate, a cost-effective, 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 BHB Brakes and an AMF Adjustable Motor Fixture mounted onto a PT Base Plate. Adding a TM Series In-Line Torque Transducer, couplings, FRS Free-Run Speed Sensor, 3411 Torque Display or DSP7000 Controller greatly expands the system’s motor testing capabilities. Other accessories available from Magtrol include: power supplies, pipe fittings, jack shafts and risers. In addition to motor test applications, BHB Series Blower Cooled Hysteresis Brakes can be used for the following:
▪ Durability/reliability verification
▪ Brush run-in
▪ Carburetor tuning
▪ High-speed tension control
