What is eddy current magnetic braking? Explore the advanced science of this system used in climbing auto belays & zip lines for a controlled descent.

Passive braking — where the system manages deceleration automatically without input from the rider or a staff member — is the operational standard across auto belays, zipline brakes, and free fall devices. All three rely on the same underlying mechanism: eddy current magnetic braking. Understanding how the technology works helps operators evaluate equipment claims, specify the right device for a given application, and explain the maintenance model to insurers and inspection bodies.
