Abstract: A movement damping device travels along a fixed track on roller wheels. Trolleys mounted on the roller wheels support the door along the track for movement of the door. Eddy-current interaction occurs between travelling magnets mounted on the device and fixed side plates of the track. The trolley moves horizontally as the roller wheels travel along horizontal support rails of the track. The track would be fixed to a supporting host structure and opposing side plates of the track support the respective rails. The trolley travels between the side plates when the door moves. The relative motion between the magnets and the side plates causes eddy-currents in the conducting side plates and consequent motion resistance
