The Retarder works
wear-free, it can eliminate 90% of all brake application. Thus the normal foot brake remains cold
and is available with emergencies with the full braking power (no
fading with hot brake linings). Cost saving, the normal
brake linings last up to 8x longer, which decreases the
downtime in the shop. Amortization
in 1 to 2 years! Downhill higher average speeds can be driven, security
and safety is increased, the comfort is improved.
The
Retarder consists of one stator and two rotors. The stator,
which is necessary for the structure of the magnetic field,
consists of a disk with 8 iron cores on each side, on which
the field coils are fastened. This stator is fastened in the
frame of the vehicle and interrupts the drive shaft. The
rotors are connected on both sides of the stator with the
turning drive shaft. By using the 3-6 level control
lever switch, which is fastened in the proximity of the steering
wheel, the Retarder brakes via the electric or electronic control box
which draws current from the batteries and produces a magnetic
field. The drive shaft turning rotors are going through
the magnetic field and into an opposite rotating magnetic
field, alternating polarities, causing a delay. This delay
generates eddy currents which slow the rotors and the drive
shaft. Braking power is applied though the Retarder,
without using the regular service brakes. Even when the
vehicle is in neutral gear, the retarder will slow down the
vehicle. The "kinetic" energy is converted into
heat
and transferred over the cooling fins to the surronding air.
