The brake is a unit that gives the wire constant, adjustable tension and is typically used between a flyer pay-off and the line. The brake can be used for a wide range of conductors, such as solid, stranded and bunched copper conductors, as well as insulated wires.
It comprises an integrated steel frame and cover, a transparent door, one braking pulley and a deviating pulley. The braking pulley is coupled to a magnetic powder brake which gives the adjustable braking force. The friction needed between the braking pulley and the wire is accomplished by a pressure belt. The machine also includes a latch-type wire break detector.
The brake includes a control box with the necessary electrical components for controlling the brake.
