Abstract

One of the main elements of safe operation of gravity conveyors used in gravity racks for pallets is the brake roller. The most promising design is a brake roller of magnetic (eddy current) type. A mathematical model of the process of moving pallets on a magnetic brake roller is developed. The equation of the speed of movement of the pallets on the brake magnetic roller obtained. The main parameter that determines the braking functions of the brake magnetic roller, and therefore the speed of movement of the pallet on the gravity roller conveyor is the coefficient of magnetic viscosity. A comparative experimental evaluation of the magnetic viscosity coefficient of eddy-current brakes of two designs - disk and centrifugal - has been carried out. It has been established that the coefficient of magnetic viscosity for both designs of brakes decreases with an increase in the air gap between the conductive body and the magnets when the magnets are placed on one and on both sides of the conductive body, and this dependence is exponential; for a disc brake, when magnets are placed on both sides of a conductive body, 2.5-3 times more than with a magnet located on one side of the disc; for a centrifugal brake when magnets are placed on both sides of a conducting body, 4-4.5 times less compared to a conducting body in the form of a disc with magnets on both sides and 1.5-2 times less than a conducting body in the form of a disc with a magnet one side.
