... hysteresis brakes produce torque strictly through a magnetic air gap without the use of magnetic particles or friction components. This method of braking provides far superior operating characteristics(smoother torque, longer life, superior repeatability, high degree of controllability, and less maintenance and down time) which make them the preferred choice for precise tension control during the processing of nearly any material, web or strand. 2, record 1, English, - hysteresis%20brake

Les freins à hystérésis génèrent leur couple exclusivement à l'aide du champ magnétique créé dans l'entrefer, sans aucun contact. Il en résulte des caractéristiques de fonctionnement nettement supérieures telles qu'un couple sans à-coups, une longue durée de vie, une excellente répétabilité de couple, une grande précision de régulation, ainsi que des temps d'arrêt et de maintenance réduits. Les freins à hystérésis sont de ce fait avantageusement utilisés pour la régulation de tension d'enroulement ou de déroulement lors de la production de divers matériaux, de tissus, de câbles et de cordes. 3, record 1, French, - frein%20%C3%A0%20hyst%C3%A9r%C3%A9sis

Magnetic sealing is used where heavy polyolefin package members are to be sealed. A gasket, shaped to fit between the sealing faces of the two package members, is made from the same thermoplastic as the package, but has milled into it an iron-containing compound that has a high hysteresis loss. The package portions are pressed together with the gasket between their sealing surfaces and placed in a magnetic field oscillating at a frequency high enough to melt the gasket. This in turn melts the sealing surfaces and causes them to weld together. As an alternative to a gasket, an iron-containing material can be preapplied to one or both of the sealing surfaces, producing the same result. 2, record 7, English, - magnetic%20sealing
