A linear eddy current brake in a German ICE 3 high-speed train in action. An eddy current brake, also known as an induction brake, Faraday brake, electric brake or electric retarder, is a device used to slow or stop a moving object by generating eddy currents and thus dissipating its kinetic energy as heat.
The eddy current dynamometer was invented by Martin and Anthony Winther around 1931, but at that time, DC Motor/generator dynamometers had been in use for many years. A company founded by the Winthers brothers, Dynamatic Corporation, manufactured dynamometers in Kenosha, Wisconsin until 2002. Dynamatic was part of Eaton Corporation from 1946 to ...
Eddy current sensors are displacement sensors that use the principle of eddy current formation to sense displacement. These sensors measure shaft displacement in rotating machinery and have been around for many years as they offer manufacturers high-linearity, high-speed measurements, and high resolution. [ 1 ]
An eddy current drive (sometimes called a "Dynamatic drive", after one of the most common brand names) consists of a fixed-speed motor (generally an induction motor) and an eddy current clutch. The clutch contains a fixed-speed rotor and an adjustable-speed rotor separated by a small air gap.
In the traditional version of eddy current testing an alternating (AC) magnetic field is used to induce eddy currents inside the material to be investigated. If the material contains a crack or flaw which make the spatial distribution of the electrical conductivity nonuniform, the path of the eddy currents is perturbed and the impedance of the ...
In electromagnetism, an eddy current (also called Foucault's current) is a loop of electric current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor according to Faraday's law of induction or by the relative motion of a conductor in a magnetic field. Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes ...
Dynamatic soon became the supplier of flap track beam assemblies for all of Airbus' single-aisle aircraft and Boeing's P-8 maritime aircraft for Indian, US and Australian navies. [12] In September, 2021 Dynamatic Technologies awarded a contract for manufacturing Aerostructure Assemblies for Boeing's F-15EX Eagle II Fighter Aircraft. [13] [14]
