Is the axis of your shaft something other than horizontal? The MAGPOWR's B-7V & B-20V Vertical Magnetic Particle brakes will help you achieve smooth, repeatable torque that is proportional to current. (read more)

When you need precise torque and tension control, use the original SOFSTEP® brakes with MAGPOWR controls. As the industry leader in tension technology, MAGPOWR is the original SOFSTEP provider. SOFSTEP brakes are available in a variety of sizes with torque ratings from 2 to 240 lb-in. They provide smooth controllable torque for power transmission and tension applications. (read more)

Simply bolt the model TSU heavy-duty load cell under your present roll support bearings and they will accurately measure the tension forces on the machine sensing the roll created by the web. It can display and control the web tension through MAGPOWR tension readouts and controls. (read more)

When MAGPOWR Clutches or Brakes are used under slip conditions, heat is generated that must be dissipated. For those applications where the heat generated exceeds the dissipation capacity of a convection cooled model, additional heat dissipation capacity can be achieved through the addition of one or both MAGPOWR cooling options. (read more)

Heavy Duty. That's what you get from MAGPOWR's DDB – Double Disk Pneumatic Brake. These brakes are all cast iron construction with no aluminum hubs that can loosen due to thermal expansion. And the disk is vented to allow for greater heat dissipation through its cooling fins. (read more)

The compact DFP-2 is perfect for use in use in dancer control applications with the MAGPOWR VERSATEC™, and in dancer and follower arm applications with the DFC-90 and FAD. It offers the same exceptional sensing performance as the original DFP sensor, but in a lighter duty low cost housing. (read more)

Maximum accuracy and ease of use in any web tension measurement application is now available with the new TSA Load Cell Amplifier. With exceptionally better drift and linearity performance over competitive units, the TSA is the choice when performance matters. It can measure tension in any moving web, wire, or strand. (read more)

The GTS Global Load Cell is used for under pillow block applications. The units are designed to be mounted under standard inch or metric pillow block bearings, which support a live or dead shaft roll. By measuring the load created by the web and acting on the sensing roll, precise and accurate tension can be displayed and controlled. (read more)

The CL Cantilever Load Cells are the most cost effective cantilever load cell on the market. They are designed to support cantilevered idler rolls in processing machines which only have one side frame, and to accurately measure and control tension in a narrow moving web. (read more)

The MAGPOWR TS line of web load cells are extremely accurate devices used to measure tension in any unwind, rewind, or intermediate web processing application. (read more)

As manufacturing capability evolves and the demands for finer wire, filament and textile material increase, so does the need for tension control in extremely light applications. To meet this critical need Magpowr has developed the LC-500G, 500 gram load cell. (read more)

It's a dependable current regulated power supply that will operate all standard MAGPOWR clutches and brakes. The MAGPOWR TC-5 is a solid state current regulated 90 vdc power supply. It has four current ranges of 1/8, ¼, ½ and 1 amp. The current range is selected by a simple jumper on the circuit board. (read more)

Control any size clutch or brake with optimum resolution with the PS-90 Power Supply. This isolated current regulated 90 vdc power supply is used for the control of magnetic particle clutches and brakes in unwind, rewind, or intermediate tension control applications. (read more)

Dancer or Follower Arm? You'll find both operating modes applicable for the DFC-90 and DFC-A low cost tension controls. (read more)
