Abstract
A method and an apparatus for braking a moving thread are described, in which the braking effect is not brought about by a clamping of the thread but by looping same around braking elements. The braking effect can be adjusted in several ways, whereby an adaptation to the material and the working conditions can be achieved. In addition, the thread can be braked continuously or discontinuously.
