Abstract
The invention relates to a brake device (1) for braking an elongate medium (10) that is to be wound up, having an energy recovery device (16a; 16b; 16c; 16d) which is coupled to the at least one braking roller (14a) and which is designed to act on the at least one braking roller (14a) with a predefined braking moment in order to brake the elongate medium (10) that is to be wound up. The invention furthermore relates to a method for operating a brake device (1) for braking an elongate medium (10) that is to be wound up.
Claims17
A brake device for braking an elongate medium that is to be wound up, comprising:
- a holding device in which at least one braking roller and at least one counterpart arranged adjacent to the at least one braking roller are arranged, wherein the at least one braking roller is rotatably mounted at axial end portions in the holding device, wherein the elongate medium to be wound up can be led through between the at least one braking roller and the at least one counterpart and forms frictional contact with the at least one braking roller and the at least one counterpart;
- and
- an energy recovery device which is coupled to the at least one braking roller and which is configured to act on the at least one braking roller with a predefined braking moment in order to brake the elongate medium that is to be wound up, said energy recovery device configured to convert kinetic energy of the at least one braking roller to electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic energy.
A method for operating a brake device for braking an elongate medium that is to be wound up, having the steps:
- providing a holding device in which at least one braking roller and at least one counterpart arranged adjacent to the at least one braking roller are arranged, wherein the at least one braking roller is rotatably mounted at axial end portions in the holding device,
- arranging the at least one braking roller and the at least one counterpart arranged adjacent to the at least one braking roller such that the elongate medium to be wound up can be led through between the at least one braking roller and the at least one counterpart and forms frictional contact with the at least one braking roller and the at least one counterpart;
- and
- converting kinetic energy of the at least one braking roller to electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic energy by means of an energy recovery device which is coupled to the at least one braking roller and which acts on the at least one braking roller with a predefined braking moment in order to brake the elongate medium that is to be wound up.
