SYSTEM OF ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAKING

Abstract

A non-contact braking system was proposed to solve the shortcomings of standard braking systems. Upright magnetic braking methods get very little mention in the extensive literature, which is good news for businesses. To build an upright magnetic system, determining the magnetic flux is a critical step. Fluctuating magnetic flux induces eddy currents in the conductor. These currents burn energy in the conductor and generate drag force in order to slow down the movement. Thus, a finite element model is utilised to examine the impacts of air gaps and track materials on magnetic flux density. The model's predicted magnetic flux is within the permissible range, according to the test findings. Based on the results, it will be simpler to develop magnetic braking systems.
