Talk:Electromagnetic brake

Types of brakes

Perhaps it would be a good idea to expand this article to include different types of electromagnetic brakes, such as magnetic particle brakes and hysteresis brakes. Unless I hear good reasons to the contrary, I'm going to start working on that addition.

Since electromagnetic clutches and brakes are very close to their constraction and operation, the original information posted by us to Wikipedia was basked upon the electromagnetic clutch article, but it was not reviewed before if was posted. We do apologize to the Wikipedia Community for this mistakes. Over the past month, this has been corrected and feel there is now a solid base of moving forward with additonal submissions. New sections have been added for Magnetic Particle, Hysteresis, Multiple Disk, and Power Off Brakes have been added. We look forward to contributing any way we can, to supply the most accurate and up to date information on electromagnetic brakes and clutches. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oguraclutch (talk • contribs) 19:21, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The introduction of this article is incorrect in stating that all electromagnetic brakes depend on friction in the end to dissipate energy. The hysteresis brake does not. I will amend the introduction. Nebulousness (talk) 16:44, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The whole article is crap. It's hopelessly confused and unsourced between electromagnetic braking and electromagnetically actuated friction brakes (a group of uncertain importance). If you feel like fixing it, then please do so, but I think you might need to remove a great deal to get it back to a supportable core. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:21, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Clutches and brakes working on electromagnetic principle

This is regarding the common content in the articles Electromagnetic clutch and Electromagnetic brake.

I propose that the articles Electromagnetic clutch and Electromagnetic brake should have general and concise info, and links to another article, which contains the theoretical treatment

I tried to do this by creating this_revision, and moving the theoretical part (which is actually good and useful) to the article Friction-plate electromagnetic clutch. Similarly, this this_revision could be used for the Electromagnetic brake article.

However, the user User:Oguraclutch repeatedly adds the content back to these two pages, and does not heed warnings on the user's Talk page. Although Oguraclutch's contributions are good, the user is persistent on keeping only it's own contributions in these articles, evidently with the motive of promoting (presumably) its own website, www.ogura-clutch.com, to which it has placed several links in both these articles.

Could someone please help? Maybe we need to lock these articles from being edited to prevent this vandalism?

Request:

Could some one PLEASE clearly explain, how much force in Newton the solenoid exerts on the Plate in terms of;

a) Voltage (V) b) Current (Amps) c) Number of Turns d) Air gap (metres) e) diameter of the Coil(metres) f) surface area of the solenoid face

What effect does wire diameter have? What effect does the geometry of the plate have? What effect does the geometry of the core have?

Thank you

North American Eagle

The North American Eagle is the first vehicle with magnetic brakes (not sure whether its an electromagnetic system, I don't think so) See http://www.landspeed.com/researchbraking.html~I think some useful info could be attained from here.

What do we mean by "brakes" ? If we include those secondary transmission brakes that are more commonly described as "retarders" (in Europe at least, I don't know US terminology) then these were commonplace by the 1970s on heavy vehicles in mountainous areas, both trucks and especially passenger coaches.

I think (but can't reference offhand) that electromagnetic brakes were used around 1910 on some electric road vehicles. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:33, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Formality

This article needs a clean up as it is informal and when reading does not resemble an encyclopaedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.215.183 (talk) 08:00, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
