Abstract (en)

[origin: US4674544A] The movable brake shoe of the projectile brake is controlled by a wedge shaped adjusting member. A servomotor and spindle arrangement are used to move the adjusting member so as to adjust the position of a slider which, in turn, serves to adjust the amount of movement of the movable brake shoe towards the stationary brake shoe during a braking operation.
