However, it is difficult to sufficiently suppress the magnetic field passing between the ferromagnetic members during non-braking when the magnet is provided with a non-magnetic reinforcing plate in the recess of the magnet. There is a problem that the strength of the magnetic field at the time is weakened. In addition, the magnetic material from the center in the circumferential direction of the magnet is suppressed to some extent, and both sides of the magnet at the time of non-braking (before and after the rotating direction of the rotating body) are obtained by combining a weak magnetic material into the hollow.
Pass a certain magnetic field to the ferromagnetic member located in the, to prevent magnetic leakage from between the ferromagnetic members, but still insufficient,
Reduces the strength of the magnetic field during braking.

A plate-like ferromagnetic member 15 is connected to the outer periphery 0a at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. Preferably, the ferromagnetic member 15 is cast when casting the guide tube 10 from aluminum. The magnet support cylinder 14 made of a ferromagnetic material is supported by the inner cylinder portion 10b of the guide cylinder 10 via the sliding bearing 12 and on the side wall via the thrust bearing 12a.

As shown in FIG. 2, step portions 35 are formed at both ends in the circumferential direction of each magnet 24, and the magnets 24 arranged in the circumferential direction are formed.
A stop 36 made of a non-magnetic material is interposed between the step portions 35 of the first and second portions, and fastened to the magnet support tube 14 by bolts 37. In the braking position shown in FIG. 2, each magnet 24 entirely overlaps the ferromagnetic member 15. At this time, the magnetic field from the magnet 24 reaches the brake drum 7 via the ferromagnetic member 15, and a magnetic circuit w is formed between the brake drum 7 and the magnet support cylinder 14. When the rotating braking drum 7 receives a magnetic field from the magnet 24, the actuator 20 generates a braking torque based on the eddy current.

The magnet support tube 14 is actuated by the actuator 20.
When the magnet 24 is rotated by a half pitch of the magnet 24, the two magnets 24 arranged in the circumferential direction as shown in FIG.
, A short-circuit magnetic circuit z is generated between the ferromagnetic member 15 and the magnet support cylinder 14, and the braking drum 7 does not generate a braking torque. However, the direction of the magnetic field from the outer surface of the magnet 24 toward the braking drum 7 is more curved as the magnet 24 is stronger, so that the magnetic field from the center in the circumferential direction of each magnet 24 is reduced by the non-magnetic outer cylindrical portion 10a. When the brake drum 7 reaches the brake drum 7 via the above, the brake drum 7 generates a drag torque.

As shown in FIG. 4, the circumferential dimension b of the ferromagnetic plate 34 may be smaller than the distance a between the ferromagnetic members 15, but preferably the circumferential dimension b is larger than the distance a. Then, the leakage magnetic field from the magnet 24 to the braking drum 7 can be completely prevented. However, as shown in FIG. 2, if the distance a between the ferromagnetic members 15 (see FIG. 4) is too small, a part of the magnetic field forming the magnetic circuit w will be generated between the ferromagnetic members 15 even during braking. The relationship between the circumferential dimension b and the distance a is experimentally determined because a short circuit may occur and the braking capacity may be reduced. As shown in FIG. 6, the width of the groove 34a provided at the center in the circumferential direction of the outer surface of the magnet 24 is
