Apparatus for transporting cylindrical steel articles

摘要

A transporting apparatus for transporting cylindrical steel articles such as steel pipes by using inclined skid rails is arranged to have a magnetic braking device including electromagnetic coils for controlling the rolling speeds of the articles to be transported, wherein the electromagnetic coils are so disposed as to minimize a magnetic path for the magnetic fluxes developed by the electromagnetic coils and are also arranged in the shell type manner to prevent the electromagnetic coils from being externally damaged.
