Magnetic Tensioners.

Providing stable & consistent tension control over long periods.

Wire tension is one of the critical parameters of any coil

winding process, having an influence on product

characteristics, particularly DC resistance. Tensioning devices

are therefore required to ensure constant wire tension throughout

the winding process.

One major disadvantage of mechanical tensioning devices is that the

friction materials are in contact with each other, resulting in mechanical

wear. Therefore the tension may change from the set value over time.

Key advantages of Magnetic Tensioners:

These magnetic tensioners use a permanent magnet as a non-contact

method of generating a variable friction on the main wheel of the

tensioner

,

maintaining wire tension at the set value for long periods

with no requirement for adjustment.

The arm position provides

feedback to the system, adjusting the main friction

wheel to regulate and maintain constant tension during the winding

cycle.

Felt pads provide pre-tension and remove dust and other debris from

the wire.

Ceramic eyelets and roller guides at each point of contact protect

insulation from mechanical damage, and guide the wire.

The performance of these units is exceptional given the low cost,

providing outstanding value for money.
