INTRODUCTION-

Electromagnetic braking means applying brakes using electronic and

magnetic power. Here we use the principle of electromagnetism to achieve friction
less braking. This tends to increase the life span and reliability of brakes since no
friction leads to less wearing out of brakes. Also it requires less maintenance and
oiling. This is an upcoming technological replacement for traditional braking systems.
The main purpose behind the proposed use of these brakes in vehicles is that
it is frictionless. This leads to a less maintenance cost due to no friction and no oiling.
Also traditional braking systems are prone to slipping while this one is guaranteed to
apply brakes to the vehicle. So without friction or need of lubrication this technology
is a preferred replacement for traditional braking. Also it is quite smaller in size
compared to the traditional braking system.

 PROBLEM STATEMENT-

• The conventional brake system consists of a lot of moving parts and is based on the
principle of friction thus a lot of forces dissipated in the form of heat due to friction and
the links involved.
• Disc brakes work using the same basic principle as the brakes on a bicycle: as the caliper
pinches the wheel with pads on both sides, it slows the vehicle.
• Drum brakes consist of a heavy flat-topped cylinder, which is sandwiched between the
wheel rim and the wheel hub. The inside surface of the drum is acted upon by the linings
of the brake shoes.
• Air brakes use standard hydraulic brake system components such as braking lines, wheel
cylinders and a slave cylinder similar to a master cylinder to transmit the air-pressure-
produced braking energy to the wheel brakes.
• All the above mentioned convectional brakes have two chief problems one is the wear
and tear and other is unnecessary excessive temperature in the service is attained.
Excessive heating of brakes can result in fade, it causes temporary changes in the friction
as they get hotter. Normally efficiency is regained when they cool again Brake pads and 6
linings also wear away faster at higher temperatures.
OBJECTIVES-

• The main objective of our project is to control the speed of the vehicle as
well as to stop it when and where quickly and efficiently without sticking.
By using electromagnetic braking, we can reduce the reaction time of
braking.

WORKING-

When power supply is on the electromagnet is energized, magnetic field is

produced there by applying brake by retarding the rotation of the disc and
the energy absorbed is appeared as heating of the disc.

So when the armature is attracted to the field the stopping torque is

transferred into the field housing and into the machine frame decelerating
the load. The AC motor makes the disc to rotate through the shaft by means
of pulleys connected to the shaft.

MERITS-

1) Friction less.
2) Low maintenance.
3) No lubrication.
4) No wearing of brakes.
5) Very reliable.
6) Very less effort is required to apply the brake.

FUTURE SCOPE-

1.CONVEYOR BELT-

A conveyor moving a series of open boxes under a filling head will use a brake to
stop and hold the box stationary while the filling operation takes place. In this application
the critical performance characteristics are the ability to repeatedly stop the load in the
correct position hundreds or thousands of times per day.

2.MILLING MACHINE-

In a milling machine the vertical axis is typically driven into position by a lead
screw. Once in position it is critical that the load stay put. A brake is used to simply hold the
screw from rotating and moving. Nearly all applications fall within one of these three
categories.

3.ROBOTICS-

Electromagnetic brake can position and hold robotic equipment. Hence, emergency 12
braking in the event of power loss can prevent damage 10 equipment.
