2. Electric friction brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_friction_brake

   The brake shield is mounted on an axle/spindle using the holes in the centre. The brake shoes (3) are the items performing the braking by pressing outwards at the drum that covers all the innards. The brake shoes are held in place by reactor springs (2) and an adjuster (7) spring. There are also some minor clips not pictured to keep the brake ...

3. DC injection braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_injection_braking

   A DC injection brake system can be used as an alternative or addition to a friction brake system. DC injection brakes only require a small module located with the other motor switchgear and/or drivers, mounted in a remote and convenient location, whereas a friction brake must be mounted somewhere on the rotating system.

4. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

   Disk electromagnetic brakes are used on vehicles such as trains, and power tools such as circular saws, to stop the blade quickly when the power is turned off.A disk eddy current brake consists of a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal disc attached to the axle of the vehicle's wheel, with an electromagnet located with its poles on each side of the disk, so the magnetic field passes through the ...

5. Solenoid brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_brake

   A solenoid brake is an electrically controlled brake. The brake is turned on and off by an electrical solenoid. Typically a spring engages the brake when unpowered, and the solenoid releases it when powered. These are used along with a mechanical brake to manage the load on a cargo winch. They're also used in electric wheel chairs, hoists ...

6. Dynamic braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_braking

   Dynamic braking is the use of an electric traction motor as a generator when slowing a vehicle such as an electric or diesel-electric locomotive. It is termed " rheostatic " if the generated electrical power is dissipated as heat in brake grid resistors , and " regenerative " if the power is returned to the supply line.

7. Electronic parking brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Park_Brake

   Electric park brake in the center console in a Volkswagen Golf Variant. An electronic parking brake (EPB), also known as an electric parking brake or electric park brake, is an electronically controlled parking brake, whereby the driver activates the holding mechanism with a button and the brake pads are electrically applied to the rear wheels.
