| Wire tension is one of the most critical parameters of any coil winding process, having an influence on product characteristics, particularly DC resistance of the wire. Wire tension control devices are therefore required to ensure constant wire tension as the wire speed changes during the coil winding process. One major disadvantage of conventional mechanical wire tensioning devices is that the friction materials are in contact with each other, resulting in mechanical wear to the friction surfaces over. Therefore the wire tension may change from the set value during a series of production runs, requiring adjustment and the consequential disruption may cause loss of efficiency of the coil winding process. Key advantages of Magnetic wire tensioners: These magnetic tensioners use a device containing a permanent magnet as a non-contact method of generating a variable resistance to rotation of the main wheel of the tensioner, thus maintaining wire tension at the set value for longer periods than their mechanical counterparts with greatly reduced requirement for adjustment. The models shown here are ideal for use on automatic multi spindle coil winding machines where the wire tension needs to be released during the pin wrapping process. (I/O is required on the winding machine to control the pneumatic actuating cylinder) Types available: MTA20, MTA100, MTA300,MTA600,MTA800. • The arm position provides feedback to the system, adjusting the main friction wheel to regulate and maintain constant wire 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 wire insulation from mechanical damage, and guide the wire. • The performance of these units is exceptional given the low cost, providing outstanding value for money. • Captive roller on tension arm is easy to thread, eliminates chance of losing wire.
