Eddy current brake
Increasing braking force with increasing speed.
Eddy current brakes from Tridelta Magnetsystme
They operate wear-free, maintenance-free, contactless and have an almost unlimited service life under normal conditions.
The eddy current brake is used when a braking effect is required above a certain speed in order to limit the speed or to increase the torque with increasing speed.
Advantages/Properties
- wear-free, since contactless
- Electroless, which means: fail-safe, low-maintenance, sustainable
- no follow-up costs
- the braking torque increases with increasing speed
- High braking force at high (rotational) speeds
- noiseless
Field of application Eddy current brake Function
The special feature of the eddy current brake is that its braking force increases with increasing speed. This type of brake has a very low torque at low speeds. The maximum braking torque is only reached at very high speeds. The eddy current brake is used where the braking force is to depend on the rotational speed or velocity, where moving masses have to be braked or accelerated quickly without generating a lot of heat, and where non-contact, wear-free operation without energy supply is desired.
