Design of Combined Braking System

Abstract

The current tendencies in automotive industry need intensive investigation in problems of interaction of active safety systems with brake system equipment. Many applications need different types of brakes. One such is eddy current. It’s difficult to stop the motion of the high RPM machine using one such system only. Conventional disc brakes suffer from problems like wear of disc, fading of brakes etc. One the other hand implementing eddy current system on conventional systems is not easy and also it takes much time to stop the rotating wheel. This paper focuses on the design of the Combined Braking System for high RPM machines which overcomes the disadvantage of both braking system and increases reliability. This system not only reduces braking effort but also increases the life of the braking system with less maintenance. The model is designed taken into the optimization and factor of safety. Use of this system will be user friendly and its manufacturing is feasible.
