Tiivistelmä
The goal of this study was to conduct an analysis of an opportunity to apply eddy current brakes in dynamical systems containing rotating shafts. While conducting the research the general principles of deceleration, eddy currents’ origin, basics of magnetism and currently existing types of brakes were clarified and gathered briefly, but informatively.
The theory which is explained in this thesis was taken from reliable secondary sources. The concepts of physics were investigated from several student books, however, a particular field of eddy current brake application was studied in terms of academic articles ranging from the 1940s up to the present.
Additional empirical data needed to complete estimations of designed system was combined following the specification sheets of various industrial companies.
The output of the research can be described as a dynamically estimated model the characteristics of which are based on real prototype and adjusted to act effectively within prototype’s environment. Based on system’s preliminary sketch, a general understanding of braking disk mounting and electromagnets internal organization can be studied and developed further. The numerical investigations gave a short presentation of physical and dynamical effects caused by eddy current brake operation.
