Abstract
Because of growing demand in the aircraft industry, research is being conducted around the world to reduce CO2 emissions by electrifying aircraft. The authors are studying a non-contact hybrid aircraft brake that combines an eddy current brake and a magnetorheological fluid brake. This paper presents a basic study of braking and regenerative torque using an axial gap type eddy current brake. The result as that a maximum braking torque of 51.3 mNm was obtained with a three-phase AC power supply when the speed of the conductor disc was 2,000 rpm, the current was 3 A, and the frequency was 10 Hz in the CW direction. The maximum regenerative torque was 48 mNm when the speed of the conductor disc was 2,000 rpm, the current was 3 A, and the frequency was 10 Hz in the CCW direction.
