Design of Combined Braking System

Abstract

The current tendencies in automotive industry need intensive investigation in problems of
interaction of active safety systems with brake system equipment. Many applications need
different types of brakes. One such is eddy current. It’s difficult to stop the motion of the high
RPM machine using one such system only. Conventional disc brakes suffer from problems
like wear of disc, fading of brakes etc. One the other hand implementing eddy current system
on conventional systems is not easy and also it takes much time to stop the rotating wheel.
This paper focuses on the design of the Combined Braking System for high RPM machines
which overcomes the disadvantage of both braking system and increases reliability. This
system not only reduces braking effort but also increases the life of the braking system with
less maintenance. The model is designed taken into the optimization and factor of safety. Use
of this system will be user friendly and its manufacturing is feasible.
