Abstract: A braking device for a movable door wing comprises an electric motor operated as a generator with a motor shaft which is rotatable by a movement of the door wing and which expends motion-dependent motor voltage at a contact pair, as well as a braking circuit upon which the motor voltage is applied or applicable and via which, the contact pair is short-circuitable in order to dampen a movement of the door wing. It is provided that the braking circuit comprises two anti-serially arranged field-effect transistors wherein their drain terminals are connected each to another contact of the contact pair and wherein their source terminals are connected to each other and preferably also connected to earth or a zero line, so that the contact pair is short-circuited depending on the switching state of the field effect transistors.

Abstract: A braking device for a movable door wing comprising an electric motor operated as a generator wherein its motor shaft is rotatable by a movement of the door wing and which outputs a motion-dependent motor voltage, and a braking circuit to which the motor voltage is applied or can be applied and via which the electric motor can be short-circuited in order to dampen a movement of the door wing. In addition, it is provided that the braking device comprises a safety device with a current sensor which is designed to detect amperage generated by the electric motor. The safety device is designed to modify the braking circuit depending on the detected amperage in such a way that upon reaching or exceeding a predetermined or predeterminable overload amperage, the current in the braking circuit is reduced.
