German term
generatorische Bremse
German to English
Tech/Engineering
What kind of brakes are "generatorische Bremse"? (linked to drive and electricity. This is as against "Magnetschienenbremse" and "Mechanbremse"). TIA to any layman-understandable explanations.

generator brakes
I can't find generatorische Bremsen anywhere, but my tech dico gives generator brakes for Generatorbremsen. Maybe it's the same thing. The reference is to brakes for a transrapid train.
Acceleration and regular braking of the vehicle is performed by the propulsion system, a synchronous longstator linear motor. In addition to these generator brakes, the braking function of the vehicle is assured by the modular eddy-current brakes. The individual eddy-current braking magnets act on the guidance rails of the guideway and guarantee the braking of the vehicle.
