2. Regenerative braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_braking

   What are described as dynamic brakes ("rheostatic brakes" in British English) on electric traction systems, unlike regenerative brakes, dissipate electric energy as heat rather than using it, by passing the current through large banks of resistors. Vehicles that use dynamic brakes include forklift trucks, diesel-electric locomotives, and trams.

3. 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

4. Dynamic braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_braking

   Although blended braking combines both dynamic and air braking, the resulting braking force is designed to be the same as the air brakes on their own provide. This is achieved by maximizing the dynamic brake portion, and automatically regulating the air brake portion, because the main purpose of dynamic braking is to reduce the amount of air ...

5. 10 Ways to Squeeze the Most Driving Range from an EV - AOL

   Some EVs have adjustable regen, with the strongest setting usually enabling "one-pedal" driving—affording little use of the friction brakes in city or suburban driving. Most EVs also incorporate ...

6. Electromagnetic clutches and brakes - Wikipedia

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

   This friction material is flush with the steel on the coil shell or rotor, since if the friction material was not flush, good magnetic traction could not occur between the faces. Some people look at electromagnetic clutches and mistakenly assume that, since the friction material is flush with the steel, that the clutch has already worn down ...

7. Brake lining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

   The complete assembly (including lining and backing) is then often called a brake pad or brake shoe. The dynamic friction coefficient "μ" for most standard brake pads is usually in the range of 0.35 to 0.42. This means that a force of 1000 Newtons on the pad will give a resulting brake force close to 400 Newtons.
