Device for winding a material web, particularly a metal strip, wherein a coil (1) is supported during the winding process by at least two support rollers (2, 3), wherein the support rollers (2, 3) can be jointly pivoted about a pivot axis (18) between a first, substantially horizontal, position and a second position, which is inclined relative to the horizontal position, by means of a pivoting device (11).

The invention relates to a brake device (1) for braking an elongate medium (10) that is to be wound up, having an energy recovery device (16a; 16b; 16c; 16d) which is coupled to the at least one braking roller (14a) and which is designed to act on the at least one braking roller (14a) with a predefined braking moment in order to brake the elongate medium (10) that is to be wound up. The invention furthermore relates to a method for operating a brake device (1) for braking an elongate medium (10) that is to be wound up.
