Development of emission-free braking systems

Eddy current brakes
Eddy current brakes enable emission-free braking for cars, commercial vehicles and rail vehicles and thus compliance with future strict regulations regarding particulate emissions. Our hybrid brake can also brake to a standstill with high braking power. We have many years of experience in the design of eddy current and hybrid brakes with high power density.
- Design and optimisation of eddy current and hybrid brakes
- Application focus on heavy commercial vehicles and rail vehicles
- Design, construction and testing on our own test benches
