This invention introduces a magnetic system designed to levitate and brake metal pieces, such as rods, using magnets arranged around their path of motion. Unlike traditional methods that rely on physical contact and friction, this system utilizes electromagnetic forces to lift and slow down the metal without touching it. This innovation aims to enhance efficiency and reduce wear in industrial processes like metal rolling. By adjusting the placement and strength of magnets, the system optimizes both lifting and braking forces, enabling smoother handling and faster production rates.
