hi, i know the method comonly used to brake DC motors is to short the windings.
But in my application i need to pull objects to a certain height with a very simple system consisting of a mottor turning a wire around its shaft and the object is attached to the other end of the wire, i hope you see what i mean.
If i use this classical way of braking i think it wont overcome the weight of the object being pulled.
So, wouldn't i get much better bracking if i keep inversing the current in the winding (Fwd-Reverse) at a relatively high frequency? in such way that the motor doesen't have time to response or move according to any of the 2 currents, but in the same way it would be kind of being braked by a foce as strong as the one that raised it..
is this theory true?
