  • Patent number: 10071755
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a housing device for a magnet body for an electromagnetic rail brake for a rail vehicle. The housing device has a first cable feed-through opening for the feeding through of a first electrical connection cable into the magnet body. The housing device is characterized in that a first axial-extent axis of the first cable feed-through opening is arranged at an acute inclination angle to a main surface of the housing device adjacent to the first cable feed-through opening, wherein the first cable feed-through opening is arranged in the center of the rail brake within a tolerance range.
