  2. Electromagnetic clutches and brakes - Wikipedia

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

    A constant power supply is ideal if accurate or maximum torque is required from a coupling. If a non-regulated power supply is used, the magnetic flux will degrade, as the resistance of the coil goes up. Basically, the hotter the coil gets the lower the torque will be, by about an average of 8% for every 20 °C.

  3. Prony brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prony_brake

    The Prony brake is a simple device invented by Gaspard de Prony in 1821 to measure the torque produced by an engine. The term "brake horsepower" is one measurement of power derived from this method of measuring torque. (Power is calculated by multiplying torque by rotational speed.) [1]

  4. Mean effective pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_effective_pressure

    Speed has dropped out of the equation, and the only variables are the torque and displacement volume. Since the range of maximum brake mean effective pressures for good engine designs is well established, we now have a displacement-independent measure of the torque-producing capacity of an engine design – a specific torque of sorts.

  5. Traction control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

    The predecessor of modern electronic traction control systems can be found in high-torque, high-power rear-wheel-drive cars as a limited slip differential.A limited-slip differential is a purely mechanical system that transfers a relatively small amount of power to the non-slipping wheel, while still allowing some wheel spin to occur.

  6. Brake force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_force

    British Railway Class 90 infobox showing brake force Brake force to weight ratio of the Class 67 is higher than some other locomotives. In the case of railways, it is important that staff are aware of the brake force of a train so sufficient brake power will be available to bring the train to a halt within the required distance from a given speed.

  7. Brake balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_balance

    The brake balance or brake bias of a vehicle is the distribution of brake force at the front and rear tires, and may be given as the percentage distributed to the front brakes (e.g. 52%) [1] or as the ratio of front and rear percentages (e.g. 52/48). [2]

  8. Inboard brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inboard_brake

    An inboard brake is an automobile technology wherein the disc brakes are mounted on the chassis of the vehicle, rather than directly on the wheel hubs. Its main advantages are twofold: a reduction in the unsprung weight of the wheel hubs, as this no longer includes the brake discs and calipers; and braking torque is applied directly to the chassis, rather than being transferred to it through ...

  9. 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 ...
