Abstract

This paper presents a novel design containing design constraints and analysis of a radial-flux salient pole Eddy current brake whereby performance characteristics and design principles are given. In order to obtain an optimal brake design, different design models based on different parameters are all analyzed by using finite element method (FEM). Eventually, an optimized radial-flux salient pole eddy current brake design having more effective cooling capability than that of the conventional one is purposed. Results for the analysis are presented together with advantages and disadvantages.
