Zusammenfassung:A braking mechanism for a winch (figure 2) is disclosed. This mechanism relies upon one or more permanent magnet brakes (11, 12) operating as eddy brakes. This is accomplished through use of moving means (13) that physically move the permanent magnet brakes (11, 12) with respect to each other. By adjusting the distance and the amount of overlap found between the permanent magnet brakes the overall magnetic attraction can be adjusted. The system is engages when the net magnetic force is attractive and disengaged when it is repulsive (figures 3A and 3B). Methods of using the braking mechanism to adjust the braking force that a system experiences are discussed. Additionally, use of the braking mechanism for both braking and for an alterative to traditional winch motors is presented. Finally, systems involving the braking mechanism are given.
