INTRODUCTION
Electromagnetic brakes have been used as
supplementary retardation equipment in addition to
the regular friction brakes on heavy vehicles. We
outline the general principles of regular brakes and
several alternative retardation techniques in this
section. The working principle and characteristics of
electromagnetic brakes are then highlighted.
REQUIREMENTS OF BRAKE
SYSTEM
1)It should have good anti-fade characteristics
2)it should be consistent with safety.
3)it should not be skidding while applying brake
4) It should be strong enough to stop the vehicle
with in a minimum distance.
5)It should have less weight.
6)it should be reliable
7)it should be easy to adjust having proper
maintenance.
8)It should produce less noise and vibration while
applying brake
conditions
Brakes add additional weight to the automobile serving no other

Advantages:
1. Faster response time

Disadvantages:
1.Slow response due to pressure build-up
Disadvantages:
1. Complexity of the system
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The working principle of the electric
retarder is based on the creation of
eddy currents within a metal disc
rotating between two
electromagnets, which sets up a
force opposing the rotation of the
disc.
If the electromagnet is not
energized, the rotation of the disc is
free and accelerates uniformly
under the action of the weight to
which its shaft is connected.
When the electromagnet is
energized, the rotation of the disc is
retarded and the energy absorbed
appears as heating of the disc. If the
current exciting the electromagnet
is varied by a rheostat, the braking
torque varies in direct proportion to
the value of the current.
THEORY
Eddy current brakes develop torque by the direct magnetic
The stator comprises steel pole pieces with hollow cores that
establish a magnetic circuit for a magnetic flux field.
CONCLUSION
The ordinary brakes which are being used now days, stop the
