Abstract: The invention relates to an autonomous retarder system for a vehicle including a retarder (10) having a central rotor (11) and two stators (12), one on each side of the rotor (11). The rotor (11) is rigidly coupled to an axle (1). A generator (20, 30, 50) is also included, coupled to the retarder (10), for supplying same with electrical energy. In addition, the generator (20, 30, 50) comprises a stator (22) and a rotor (21, 31, 51) coupled to the retarder.

Abstract: A retarder (16), as a braking device or auxiliary braking device for vehicles or the like, in particular rail vehicles, is described, having a stator (3), comprising at least two axially spaced-apart stator halves (3a, 3b), which each have magnetic field coils, and a rotor which is disposed between the at least two stator halves (3a, 3b), the rotor being coupled in a manner fixed against relative rotation to an axle (5) or shaft of the vehicle and the stator being coupled with the vehicle, or a undercarriage (19) of the vehicle. The rotor is formed by at least one rotor disk (1) divided into two parts, comprising two adjacent rotor halves (1a, 1b), which are joined to one another in a radially inner annular region, oriented toward the axle (5) or shaft, and are disposed in a radially outer annular section (7a, 7b), with axial clearance from one another (FIG. 4).
