  2. Electromagnetic brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_brake

    Trams and trains use electromagnetic track brakes where the braking element is pressed by magnetic force to the rail. They are distinguished from mechanical track brakes, where the braking element is mechanically pressed on the rail. Electric motors in industrial and robotic applications also employ electromagnetic brakes.

  3. Track brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_brake

    The truck of a SEPTA Kawasaki light rail vehicle showing the track brake magnets between the wheels. A magnetic track brake (Mg brake) is a brake for rail vehicles. It consists of brake magnets, pole shoes, a suspension, a power transmission and, in the case of mainline railroads, a track rod. When current flows through the magnet coil, the ...

    There are 8 electromagnetic brakes in the vehicle. These electromagnetic brakes can be activated with either a button (used mainly for testing), when emergency brake button is pressed, or when the hand controller is pushed back entirely. Disc brakes are used to bring the tram into a complete stop. They are equipped with wheel slide protection ...

    In case of failure, braking is automatically done by the system of friction disc brake, which will work until the vehicle comes to a complete halt. The friction disc brake is hydraulically controlled with an electric compression unit. Each bogie is also equipped with a pair of electromagnetic rail brakes with voltage of 24 V DC.

  6. Electromagnetic clutches and brakes - Wikipedia

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

    The electromagnetic lines of flux have to attract and pull the armature in contact with it to complete engagement. Most industrial couplings use what is called a single flux, two pole design (A-2). Mobile clutches of other specialty electromagnetic clutches can use a double or triple flux rotor (A-4).

  7. Regenerative braking - Wikipedia

    Mechanism for regenerative brake on the roof of a Škoda Astra tram The S7/8 Stock on the London Underground can return around 20% of its energy usage to the power supply. [ 1 ] Regenerative braking is an energy recovery mechanism that slows down a moving vehicle or object by converting its kinetic energy or potential energy into a form that ...

    That tram is unilateral and single-cab. The car is equipped with a thyristor-pulse control system and with three types of brakes: electric with the possibility of recuperation, electromagnetic (rail) and mechanical. Two-axle bogie-axle truck with individual drive of each wheel pair through axial support axial two-stage cylindrical traction reducer.
