Abstract

 The eddy
current brake(ECB) is built by corresponding motion between a coil and a metallic
material. The eddy current and coil creates reverse magnetic fields w produces
braking force and dissipated heat due to resistivity of rotor material. In this
paper, an ECB system is offered and different rotor materials are investigated
with respect to generated braking torque. 

Keywords
