ZF Tiratron Hysteresis Products – Key Components for Precision Control
ZF Aftermarket also showcased the Tiratron hysteresis brake and hysteresis clutch, along with their electronic control systems, providing high-precision solutions for tension and torque control. These are widely used in winding equipment industries such as papermaking and cable manufacturing.
- Contactless Torque Transmission: Continuously adjustable, non-contact torque transmission (brake or clutch) achieved through an air gap, ensuring stable operation and no wear.
- Continuously Adjustable Torque: Braking torque or transferable torque is controlled by current. It is largely speed-independent, maintaining consistent effectiveness from zero to maximum speed.
- High-Power Continuous Mode: The overload-capable braking power optimization series supports stable operation under continuous high-power conditions, withstanding overloads for short periods. Hysteresis brakes and clutches operate through magnetic forces generated by two-pole magnetic field reversal in synchronous mode and continuous magnetic reversal mode.
- Application as Holding Brakes: Hysteresis brakes can also be used as holding brakes at zero speed. In initial and relative position states, the rotor achieves a braking range of approximately 5–10°, and is also suitable for reversing the direction of rotation.
