A wave brake system is designed to control mechanical energy in the form of rotational movements by slowing down or stopping them. Specifically designed to maximize efficiency and reliability, this system operates with a spring-operated closing mechanism and an electromagnetically actuated opening. The spring ensures immediate and secure closing as soon as the power supply is interrupted, while the electromagnetic component allows for quick and precise opening. This combination guarantees reliable control and safety in a variety of applications, from industrial machines to complex vehicle drives.
