Volkmann Yarn brake tension devices CarpetTwister / CarpetCabler
Outer yarn brake tension device
The demands made on Volkmann yarn brake tension devices are as varied as our customers' companies and their yarns. The yarn brake tension devices win our customers over due to the simple setup of the thread tension and yarn reserve at a pilot spindle. The setting is then transferred to all spindles on the machine. Yarn grade as well as setup times are the most important criteria for selecting brakes.
The systems shown here are tailored to the newest generation of Volkmann machines. Other versions for older generation machines, third party products and third party applications are now already in operation all around the world.

Roller brake for the shortest of setup times
Creel hysteresis brake for high speeds
Compensation brake for a broad range of yarns
Braking is effected by a pair or pneumatically pressurised rollers.
Precise magnetic forces generate the braking action.
Braking is effected by spring-loaded ceramic eyelets and ceramic guide.
Gentle roller braking without generating thread friction at the yarn deflection points. Helping to avoid the shifting of filaments. Pneumatic central setup ensures the settings are identical from spindle to spindle and guarantees short setup times. Centralised compressed air monitoring safeguards against pressure loss. Increased pressure roller durability. Easy maintenance
Double capsule brake - tried and tested
Two tension capsules arranged behind each other generate the required braking force.
High precision braking action. Robust ceramic fan disc pairs guide the yarn through the brake and transfer the braking force to the yarn. Highly durable fan disc pairs. The most simple transfer of settings to all other brakes.
A well established braking system suitable for a range of yarns. All double brakes can be adjusted by modifying the spring load of each capsule and/or by exchanging the brake capsule at each location. Brake capsules are available with chrome and plasma surface coating.
Top-quality ceramic generates the desired braking force by guiding and deflecting the yarn in a gentle nondamaging way. Simple to adjust via a rotary knob with graduated dial. Available with and without a preliminary brake.
Core yarn brake tension devices
Hysteresis brake - Offers precision Braking is effected via highprecision magnetic system.
Robust ceramic fan disc pairs guide the yarns through the brake and transfer the braking force onto the yarn. Simple setup of the thread tension according to the established outer yarn tension. The most simple transfer of settings to all other brakes. High reproducibility from brake to brake. Highly durable fan disc pairs. Short setup times.
Yarn brake for up-twisting Multi-tension device The thread tension required for twisting or up-twisting is achieved by arranging of a tension capsule between two ceramic eyelets.
1st generation disc brakes Braking is effected by three disc brakes that are arranged behind each other having springs of differing tensions.
A simple braking system for generating the necessary core yarn tension in the cabling hood. The core yarn tension can be adjusted according to the established outer yarn tension by adjusting the spring tension on the three disc brakes using socket wrenches and measuring the thread tension. This adjustment is repeated for each brake whilst the core yarn is running. Exact adjustment processes are required to guarantee the same yarn grade.
Tension capsules of differing strengths are available for the entire range of yarns. Flexible 6 step settings. Yarn specific processing and high durability can be achieved with chrome and plasma coated braking capsules. Pneumatic spindle threading without requiring additional handling.
