Braking device for continuously variable braking of a shaft has a steel brake cable in a guide device round a shaft and a spring element with flexible compression

摘要

When triggering occurs, a steel brake cable (5) in a guide device/groove (4) round a shaft (1) is slackened so as to reduce its frictional resistance regarding the guide device. When no triggering occurs, a spring element (10) with flexible compression links to the steel brake cable and exerts continuous defined counterforce on the steel brake cable.
