Abstract

A stabilizing and aiming drive for the turret (2) of a vehicle (1) comprises brake surfaces at revolving rings (6,7) which are supported for rotation at the vehicle superstructure or at the turret. The revolving rings (6,7) are driven in opposite directions by an electric motor (20) acting through driven pinions (23,24), and they carry brake surfaces (10,11). These brake surfaces face the friction linings (12,13) which are adapted to be acted upon by magnetic structural units (16,17) provided at the turret or vehicle superstructure for engagement with the brake surfaces, in order to thereby apply controlled stabilizing and aiming moments on the turret.
