Introduction Of Eddy
Current Brake
Eddy current brakes, like conventional friction brakes, are
responsible for slowing an object, such as rotating machinery, a
moving train, or even a roller coaster.
These brakes make use of opposing tendency of eddy currents.
The drawbacks of ordinary brakes which uses mechanical
blocking could be eliminated by use of a more simple and
effective mechanism known as eddy current brakes.
There are two basic types:
(1)circular
(2)linear

Advantages Of Eddy
Current Brakes: It uses electromagnetic force and not mechanical friction
All this makes them much more attractive than noisy friction
brakes that need regular inspection and routinely wear out. It's
been estimated that switching an electric train from friction
brakes to eddy-current brakes could halve the cost of brake
operation and maintenance over its lifetime.
DISADVANTAGES:
long time, the eddy current braking is very much useful for working
without overheating.
Eddy current brakes are very much useful for high-speed
Conclusion:The ordinary brakes which are being used now a days stop the
provide that much high braking force and it will cause problems.
These drawbacks can be eliminated by using a simple and effective
trains.
It makes use of opposing tendency of eddy currents .
