Abstract: A power transmitting arrangement for doors, preferably revolving or swinging doors with door leaves (30) moving in a circular path inside lateral portions (33), is useful for both driving and braking the door. Between a stationary element (K1) and a relatively displaceable element (K2) is arranged a power transmission including an engagement surface (Y) at the one element and at least one engagement device (18,23) at the other element wherein power such as motor power for the operation of the door and/or inertia derived from the door on the braking of the same is transmitted utilizing at least one obliquely against the surface of engagement (Y) arranged and such engagement device carrying swingably arranged arm so movable that the power engagement increases with increasing torque.
