... 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
