The eddy current brake configured to have at least two rotational degrees of freedom, where a first primary axis of rotation is angularly translated relative to at least one secondary or control axis of rotation and the braking action is applied to the primary axis and the at least one secondary axis is used to modulate of the braking action. The braking system has a second axis of rotation in a different plane to that of the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation may be at an angle generally orthogonal to the first degree of freedom axis of rotation. An orthogonal second axis of rotation may assist with system stability and avoid oscillating forces in an auto-belay or self-retracting lifeline (SRL).
