LINEAR EDDY CURRENT BRAKES

Linear eddy current brakes are used wherever maximum reliability and absolute functional safety are required. Our speciality is jerk-free deceleration from high speeds with very high braking forces. Every brake you get from us is a system solution perfectly matched to your requirements.

Our brakes are characterised by the following features, among others:

  • Braking forces up to 1,200 kN‘
  • Fail safe‘, confirmed by TÜV Süd
  • jerk-free, continuous force build-up up to maximum braking force
  • without control and therefore completely independent of other systems
  • non-contact and therefore wear-free
  • safe and reliable under extreme environmental conditions, e.g. under water, in case of lightning strike
  • no reduction in braking force in humid environments in contrast to conventional mechanical brakes
  • Braking independent of the direction of movement
