RETARDER IN PARTICULAR AS A BRAKING DEVICE OR AUXILIARY BRAKING DEVICE FOR VEHICLES OR SIMILAR IN SPECIAL VEHICLES ABOUT CARRIS

摘要

A retarder ( 16 ), as a braking device or auxiliary braking device for vehicles or the like, in particular rail vehicles, is described, having a stator ( 3 ), comprising at least two axially spaced-apart stator halves ( 3 a , 3 b), which each have magnetic field coils, and a rotor which is disposed between the at least two stator halves ( 3 a , 3 b), the rotor being coupled in a manner fixed against relative rotation to an axle ( 5 ) or shaft of the vehicle and the stator being coupled with the vehicle, or a undercarriage ( 19 ) of the vehicle. The rotor is formed by at least one rotor disk ( 1 ) divided into two parts, comprising two adjacent rotor halves ( 1 a , 1 b), which are joined to one another in a radially inner annular region, oriented toward the axle ( 5 ) or shaft, and are disposed in a radially outer annular section ( 7 a , 7 b), with axial clearance from one another (FIG. 4 ).
