Abstract

Summary form only given. The eddy current brake system ofa high-speed railway has been developed because of the mechanical adhesion limit. It have been used in magnetic levitation applications and in high velocity trains in order to avoid the abrasion of a mechanical disc brake. The eddy current brake system with permanent magnet has a simple structure, rugged characteristics and low cost because of no control and power system. In this paper, the characteristics analysis of an eddy current brake system using the linear Halbach array are analyzed by the analytical method and FEM.
