Hi!

Can anyone shed some light on what a brugrem is?
I've tried googling it and can't find a single use of this word anywhere.
It is a translation about paper and cardboard manufacturing and this is the full sentence:

Waar moet je op letten bij het doorvoeren van de baan door de **brugrem**?

I was wondering whether there is an equivalent technical term in English.
Thanks!

Explanation:
I think a literal translation will be just about right.
It's about, I think anyhow, the speed that rolls are fed through, so that means speed, which includes stop/start and pressure fundtions that are both automatic as well as manually controlled, fully automated sytems taking care of influences from the surroundings to make sure that paper or cardboard remain in line through the machine process so that the finished products are neat and uniform. For instance, paper is sensitive to wind and humidity, computerized systems can respond automatically to any changes on the workshop floor.
