In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, a guide cylinder 10 made of a non-magnetic material and having an inner space with a rectangular cross section is disposed inside a braking drum 7 connected to the rotating shaft 1.
A large number of ferromagnetic plates 15 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer cylinder portion 10a, and each of the ferromagnetic plates 15 is disposed inside the guide cylinder 10 so as to be axially movable. Magnetic plate 1
5 so that the polarities with respect to 5 are alternately different in the circumferential direction.
a, and the magnet support cylinder 10 is protruded into the inside of the brake drum 7 so that each magnet 14a is completely opposed to each ferromagnetic plate 15 in the illustrated braking position.
The magnets 14a are retracted in the axial direction from
Is switched by the actuator 20 to a non-braking position that is not opposed to the actuator. As shown in FIGS.
The circumferential dimension of the ferromagnetic plate 15 is gradually reduced from the inner surface to the outer surface.

As described above, the present invention provides a ferromagnetic plate 1
Since the cross section perpendicular to the rotation axis of 5 is made substantially trapezoidal in which the outer surface 24 is narrower than the inner surface 25, the magnetic flux exerted on the braking drum 7 from the magnet 14a via the ferromagnetic plate 15 is reduced. In other words, the magnetic flux of the two magnets 14a is throttled when passing through the ferromagnetic plate 15 and reaches the brake drum 7, so that the magnetic flux density increases inside the brake drum 7, and the eddy current generated inside the brake drum 7 is reduced. It becomes stronger and the braking force is increased.

In short, according to the present invention, a guide cylinder made of a non-magnetic material and having an inner space with a rectangular cross section is disposed inside a braking drum connected to a rotating shaft, and the guide cylinder is provided on an outer cylindrical portion of the guide cylinder. A large number of ferromagnetic plates are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the polarity opposite to the ferromagnetic plate is set in the circumferential direction on the outer surface of the magnet support tube supported rotatably or axially in the inner space of the guide tube. In the eddy current reduction device provided with magnets one or two different from each other, the circumferential dimension of the ferromagnetic plate is narrowed from the inner surface to the outer surface, and the magnetic flux from the magnet is Since it is squeezed when passing through the plate and reaches the brake drum, the magnetic flux density inside the brake drum increases, and the braking force is improved.
