| An electromagnetic brake is a device used as an auxiliary brake for heavy
vehicles such as trucks and buses, which decelerates a propeller shaft
by directly applying the braking force. When the magnetic field generated
by the stator coils interacts with the rotor, eddy currents flow in the
rotor, producing a braking torque. This note presents the use of magnetic
field analysis to evaluate the braking torque of the brake at different
rotation speeds. |
