Abstract
This eddy-current retarding device includes: a magnet holding member that is coaxially provided to a rotating shaft and holds plural permanent magnets in a circumferential direction; a brake member that includes paired disk portions disposed on both sides of the magnet holding member in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, a connecting portion that connects the paired disk portions, and an eddy-current generating portion that causes eddy current due to rotation of the permanent magnets, and this brake member being supported in a relatively rotatable manner with respect to the rotating shaft; and a friction brake that causes a friction member to press against the brake member at the time of braking to bring the brake member to a stop.
