A constant tension control device of mechanical feedback is designed for the tension adjustment between the unwinding and rewinding of the flexible material, and the structure and size of the device are given. According to torque balance principle and based on purely mechanical structure, this device can control tension by adjusting the frictional force between the brake block and the unwinding wheel. The tension of controlling the unwinding and rewinding of the flexible material is analyzed, and then the control method of the tension is illustrated. Compared with the common closed loop control devices with tension feedback, the structure of the proposed device is simpler, and it has a stronger capacity of resisting disturbance in complicated electromagnetic environment.
