ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAKING SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILE
CHAPTER- 1
INTRODUCTION
(friction). The original name was "electro-mechanical brakes" but over the years
and trams, the variety of applications and brake design increased dramatically,
but the basic operation remains the same. Electromagnetic brakes are the brakes
working on the electric power and magnetic power. They works on the principle
convectional brakes due to their many advantages. The reason for implementing
principle of this system is that when the magnetic flux passes through
the rotating wheel/rotor direction. This eddy current trying to stop the rotating
wheel or rotor. This results in the rotating wheel or rotor comes to rest/ neutral.

1.2 History
It is found that electromagnetic brakes can develop a negative power which
represents nearly twice the maximum power output of a typical engine, and at
frequently, and therefore practically never reach high temperatures. The brake
linings would last considerably longer before requiring maintenance and the
80% of the duty which would otherwise have been demanded of the regular
prevents the danger that can arise from the prolonged use of brake beyond their
descending a long gradient at high speed. In a study with a vehicle with 5 axles
can be calculated that the braking power necessary to maintain this speed ot the
order of 450hp. The brakes, therefore, would have to absorb 300 hp,meaning

that each brake in the 5 axels must absorb 30 hp, that a friction brake can
normally absorb with self destruction. The magnetic brake is wall suited to such
braking, leaving the friction brakes cool and ready for emergency braking in
there is enough space between the gearbox and the rear axle. If did not need a
its use, so do exhaust and hydrokinetic brakes. The exhaust brake is an on/off

external battery and by turning it on, they work respectively.

COMPONENTS AND DESCRIPTION
1) Driving Unit
a) Electric Motor
An Electric motor is an electrical device that converts electrical energy
into mechanical energy. In normal motoring mode, most electric motors operate
through the interaction between an electric motor's magnetic field and
Page 7
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING ,GECK
ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAKING SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILE
winding currents to generate force within the motor. Electric motors may be
classified by electric power source type, internal construction, application, type
of motion output, and so on.
b) Wheel
Wheel gets in motion with the help of running motor. Both motor and wheel is
connected with the help of connecting chain and chain ring.

ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAKING SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILE
c) Power control
This division consists of power supply to whole system and a separate
power control system to control the motion.
2) Braking Unit
a) Electromagnet
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is
produced by an electric current .The magnetic field disappears when the current
is turned off. Electromagnets usually consist of insulated wire wound into a coil.
Page 9
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING ,GECK
ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAKING SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILE
A current through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the
hole in the center of the coil. The wire turns are often wound around a magnetic
core.
b) Brake Shoe
It is part that will stop the main wheel when the electromagnet is turned on.
3) Other parts
Spring:
A coil spring, also known as a helical spring, is a mechanical device which is
typically used to store energy and subsequently release it, to absorb shock, or to
maintain a force between contacting surfaces. : Two compression springs are
used to push back the brake shoe back in its position.

Bearing:
The purpose of Ball Bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial
and axial loads.In this project 608 2RS type of bearing is used.

When electricity is removed from the brake, the armature is free to turn with the
shaft.

b) Electric motor
DC Wiper motors is used to move the wheel .
c)Connecting chains
Two connecting chains will be used.One will be used to deliver
motion from motor to wheel and other will use that motion to run magnetic disc.

CONCLUSION
With every one of the upsides of electromagnetic brakes over grating brakes,
they have been generally utilized on overwhelming vehicles where the 'brake
fading' issue exists. A similar idea is being created for application on lighter

system along with the friction braking system to avoid overheating and brake
failure. ABS use can be ignored by just utilizing a smaller scale controlled
of plate brake to acquire the trains moving rapid. When these brakes are
combined it increases the life of brake and act like fully loaded brakes. These
electromagnetic brakes can be used in wet conditions which eliminate the anti-
skidding equipment, and cost of these brake are cheaper than the other types.
Consequently the braking power created in this is not as much as the plate
vehicles.
