  2. Electromagnetic clutches and brakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_clutches...

    In an electromagnetic brake, the north and south pole is created by a coil shell and a wound coil. In a brake, the armature is being pulled against the brake field. (A-3) The frictional contact, which is being controlled by the strength of the magnetic field, is what causes the rotational motion to stop.

  3. Electric friction brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_friction_brake

    This describes the electrically controlled drum brake principles. The brake is built with the brake shield (1) as a base that contains the mechanism. 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.

  4. Electromagnetic brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_brake

    Electromagnetic brakes or EM brakes are used to slow or stop vehicles using electromagnetic force to apply mechanical resistance (friction). They were originally called electro-mechanical brakes but over the years the name changed to "electromagnetic brakes", referring to their actuation method which is generally unrelated to modern electro-mechanical brakes.

  5. Electric brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_brake

    Electric brake is an ambiguous term meaning more than one thing: Dynamic braking, Braking using magnetic currents either to charge a battery or waste as heat; Electric friction brake, Electrically controlled friction brake; Track brake; Regenerative brake; Eddy current brake, Braking using eddy currents

  6. S-cam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-cam

    An S-cam is part of a braking system used in heavy vehicles such as trucks and wheeled machinery. It consists of a shaft, usually around 4 to 25 inches long, turned at one end by means of an air-powered brake booster and lever with an S-shaped cam at the wheel end. Turning the shaft pushes the brake shoes against the drum, producing friction.

  7. 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 ...

    Yes. Because regenerative braking also relies on battery chemistry – in this case energy is pushed back into the battery by the motors as a car coasts or brakes – it will work less well when cold.

  9. Brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

    Frictional brakes are most common and can be divided broadly into "shoe" or "pad" brakes, using an explicit wear surface, and hydrodynamic brakes, such as parachutes, which use friction in a working fluid and do not explicitly wear. Typically the term "friction brake" is used to mean pad/shoe brakes and excludes hydrodynamic brakes, even though ...
