1. A braking device system for a test pendulum arrangement to perform crash test dummy certifications, the braking device system comprising a braking device configured to brake a moving pendulum, on which a head and neck assembly of a crash test dummy is capable of being arranged, in a lower braking region, wherein the braking device includes a plunger and a linear motor arrangement for exerting a braking force (FB) to the plunger, wherein the plunger is configured to be actuated axially by the linear motor arrangement and which is designed to come into contact with the pendulum in a defined braking region, and the linear motor arrangement brakes the pendulum as a result of exerting a braking force to the plunger.
