ELECTROMAGNETICALLY ACTUATED TRANSMISSION BRAKE

摘要

The invention relates to a transmission brake (1) by way of which a transmission shaft (3) can be braked for example to carry out an up-shift. The aim of the invention is to provide a transmission brake that is devoid of any hydraulic or pneumatic actuation device and that requires very little axial installation space. The transmission brake (1) according to the invention is provided with an electromagnetic actuation device (6, 7; 8) by way of which the friction elements (4, 5) of the transmission brake (1) can be pressed against each other for actuating the brake.
