Fabrication of Automatic Electromagnetic Braking System for 4 Wheels

Abstract

An electromagnetic brake is a new and revolutionary concept. They have no friction at all. The brakes that operate on both electric and magnetic power are known as electromagnetic brakes. The power required to brake in an electromagnetic braking system is manually applied, but magnetic force is used to engage the brake. A new type of braking system utilised in both light and heavy motor vehicles is the electromagnetic braking system. The components of this system combine electromechanical ideas. Nowadays, accidents happen more frequently due to inefficient braking systems. The electromagnetic brake is a vital innovation to ensure that heavy trucks can stop safely. The aim of this project is to create a model of an electromagnetic four-wheel braking system that can use brakes without causing any friction loss and without wasting energy input. For automatic sensing operation, an ultrasonic sensor is included. As soon as the sensor picks it up, the electromagnetic braking mechanism will kick in. Two electromagnets that are powered by the circuit are used. Additionally, the motor is coupled with a wheel, which rotates with the help of the motor when power is applied. Due to the proximity of the electromagnets and the wheel, eddy currents are created, which cause the rotating wheel or rotor to stop. This idea helps with the use of vehicle retardation devices in several ways.
