Wire Payoff
For decades, Magnetic Technologies permanent magnet hysteresis brakes have been used around the world for wire payoff applications. Our magnetic brakes are ideally suited for this application because they provide a constant torque year-after-year. With no wearing parts, our brakes last for many years without needing any servicing. We offer a full range of permanent magnet hysteresis brakes for new applications, competitive brake replacement, or retrofit to an existing payoff.

Magnetic Clutch
By driving the body of our brake and using the shaft as an output, these permanent magnet hysteresis brakes can be used as an adjustable inline torque limiting magnetic clutch. The magnetic brake will drive without slip until the torque set point is exceeded at which point the brake will slip smoothly. When torque is decreased below the torque setpoint, the brake will continue driving smoothly without any damage to the brake or any other torque sensitive components.

Drag Brake
Our brakes can be used to create an adjustable drag. Whether you are simulating drag on a motor or creating resistance on exercise equipment, our constant torque brakes allow for continuous slip without any wear or electricity requirement. You can count on our brakes to give a consistent and repeatable drag on your process.

Backstop Brake
Because our brakes require no electricity to operate, they work great as a failsafe in the event of power loss. For positioning applications such as linear stages or motor-driven lifting applications, in the event of power failure our brake will hold or slow any resulting motion keeping operators out of harms way.
