You can take the previous technique a step further if you have a case where adequate drag pressure for a full coil is far too high for a nearly depleted coil, causing you to have to make intermediate adjustments. An air brake can be equipped with a variable torque control. Essentially an ultrasonic sensor determines the coil I.D. and adjusts the brake tension automatically as the coil depletes.
