BRAKE
A brake is a mechanical device which
retards motion.
Brakes use friction between two surfaces
to convert the kinetic energy of the
moving object into heat.

Disc Brakes

Need for Alternative

All conventional systems of braking in
road vehicles uses development of
contact friction for retardation
These systems are prone to the wear and
tear on usage
Conventional braking systems produces
continuous power dissipation as heat and
may fail if the temperature rises too high
Friction based braking methods are also
not efficient under wet conditions

INTRODUCTION

A brake is a mechanical device which

retards motion.
Electromagnetic brakes operate
electrically,
but
transmit torque
mechanically.
This is why they used to be referred to
as
electro-mechanical
brakes.
Electromagnetic
brakes are used
as supplementary
retardation equipment in addition to the regular Friction
brakes.

Working Principle
The working principle of the electro
magnetic brake is based on the
creation of magnetic field with in a
metal disc rotating between two
electro magnets, which sets up a
force opposing the rotation of the
disc.

Electromagnetic Braking
Disc is rotated in magnetic field
eddy currents will be produced in
disc
eddy currents induced in disc will
produce a torque (motor principle)
produced torque in disc opposes
actual rotation of disc (Lenz law)

Typical Electromagnetic
Brake

ADVANTAGES
Electromagnetic brakes can develop a negative power which represents
nearly twice the maximum power output of a typical engine.

Electromagnetic brakes work in a relatively cool condition and satisfy

all the energy requirements of braking at high speeds, completely
without the use of friction.

ADVANTAGES

No friction
Low maintenance requirement
Less noise
Simple in design
High degree of safety

DISADVANTAGES
Failure to act as a holding device
Usage of electric power for
braking
Less effective under very low
velocities

APPLICATIONS

Already in use under some railway system

Can be used for any road vehicles
Equally applicable to heavy and light vehicles
Can be used as additional retarder for aircrafts

Used in crane control system.

Used in winch controlling.
Used in lift controlling.
Used in automatic purpose.

CONCLUSION
Electromagnetic Braking is superior
to conventional frictional braking as
there is no friction and heat in
electromagnetic braking.
So the conventional disc and drum
brakes
can
be
replaced
with
electromagnetic brakes.
