System Configurations AHB
AHB Series Hysteresis Brakes are versatile enough to be specified for use in simple open-loop systems or more complex closed-
loop systems.
Open-Loop Systems
A characteristic of the open-loop system is that it does not use feedback to determine if its input has achieved the desired goal.
This means that the system does not react to the output of the processes that it is controlling.
An open-loop controller is often used in simple test setups because of its simplicity and low cost, especially in systems where
feedback is not critical. Below is an example of an open-loop system.
Couplings
Closed-Loop Systems
A characteristic of the closed-loop system is that it uses feedback to determine if its input has achieved the desired goal. This
means that the system reacts to the output of the processes that it is controlling.
A closed-loop controller is often used because of its ability to repeatedly return to a desired controlled point. Below is an example
of a closed-loop system.

Brake Selection and Dimensions (mm) AHB
Brake Selection
Magtrol’s AHB Series Compressed-air-cooled Hysteresis Brakes cover a wide range of Torque, Speed and Mechanical Power
ratings. To select the appropriate size brake for your motor testing needs, you will need to determine the Maximum Torque,
Speed and Power applied to the brake.
Maximum Torque
SI: P (watts) = T (N·m) × n (rpm) × (1.047 × 10-1)
The AHB Brake will develop braking torque at any speed
English: P (watts) = T (lb·in) × n (rpm) × (1.183 × 10-2)
point, including low speed and stall conditions (“0” rpm). It
is important to consider all torque points that are to be tested, Metric: P (watts) = T (kg·cm) × n (rpm) × (1.027 × 10-2)

Maximum Speed
This rating is to be considered independent of torque and The brake’s ability to dissipate heat is a function of how long

These ratings represent the maximum capability of the braking
