FIELD: machine engineering.
SUBSTANCE: braking method consists of using the universal self-centering system containing outer and inner bases, rollers attached to the bases, gears or sprockets which are connected together by a closed cable, a chain or a belt. An input shaft is connected to the outer base and coincides in direction with a shaft on the inner base, the brake gears of different diameters are coaxially fixed to the gears of the outer base and transmit torque to a brake shaft. The torque from the input shaft to the brake shaft is transmitetd by shifting the shaft axis on the inner base relative to the axis of the input shaft. The brake gears differ in diameters, but simultaneously contact the brake shaft and try to rotate it at different rate. The toothing of all parts is constant and non-switchable. Transmission of rotational torque from the input shaft to the brake shaft is carried out smoothly at initial speed equal to zero.
EFFECT: possibility of braking without the use of friction pairs rotating relative to each other.
