    The document outlines the design and fabrication of an electromagnetic braking system. The system uses electromagnetic force induced when a current-carrying conductor cuts through a magnetic field to engage brake shoes on a wheel hub. When the brake pedal is pressed, it sends current from a battery to the brake shoes via a relay switch, magnetizing the shoes and attracting them to the hub to slow the wheel. Releasing the pedal cuts the current and disengages the brakes. The system provides efficient braking that engages quickly and is low-cost to build.

    DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF ELECTRO MAGNETIC BRAKING SYSTEM

    GUIDE: Mr.C.SUBRAMANIYAN ,M.E., (Assistant professor) MEMBERS: R.Vijayaraman V.Muruganandam T.Anandha babu A.Siva

    INTRODUCTION:
    Electromagnetic brakes have been used as supplementary retardation equipment in addition to the regular friction brakes on heavy vehicles. We outline the general principles of regular brakes and several alternative retardation techniques in this section. The working principle and characteristics of electromagnetic brakes are then highlighted.

    BASIC PRINCIPLE:
    Whenever the current carrying conductor cuts the magnetic field, the e.m.f (Electro magnetic force) is induced.

    MAIN PARTS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM:


    Battery (7Ah, 12V) Relay switch. Brake shoes. Wheel hub.

    Battery

    Relay switch

    WORKING:
    There are three parts to an electromagnetic brake: Relay switch, Brake shoes, and hub (which is the input on a brake). The electric supply from the battery is given to the brake shoes through the relay switch when the brake pedal is pressing. Then the brake shoes get magnetized. So when the brake shoes is attracted to the hub, the stopping torque is transferred into the hub housing and into the wheel decelerating the load. This can happen very fast (1-3sec).

    The amount of torque produced T = 4136.52 N-m Disengagement is very simple. Once the relay switch starts to degrade flux falls rapidly and the brake shoes separates. A spring(s) hold the brake shoes away from its corresponding contact surface at a predetermined air gap.

    HUB AND BRAKE SHOE ASSEMLY:

    COST ESTIMATION:
    Battery (12volt) - 700 500 150 150

    Wheel and brake shoe Relay switch -

    Assembly (brake shoe) -

    Contd
    Frame assembly (stand) - 300 Paint Others Total - 150 - 150 - 2100

    ADVANTAGE:
    Easy to construction. Low cost. Efficient braking method. Engagement time is very less. Easy to Engage and Disengage.

    APPLICATION:
    This method is applicable for both four wheeler and two wheeler.

    CONCLUSION:
    It is conclusion of our project , Brake applied by using the Electro Magnetic Induction principle. Our project has provided us an excellent opportunity to observe our skills. Also give us confidence to face any challenge in tech globalize competitive world.
