Abstract
As we all know that the road to a fully electric future was paved in 2020 with potential new
partnerships between automakers and Electric Vehicle (EV) start-ups, advancements in
battery range and heightened government efforts to reduce CO2 emissions. Since braking is
also the most essential part of automobile it’s also needs to get changed with respect to time
as Automobiles get changed from running onto fossil fuels to EV.For such a great change
Electromagnetic Braking System is one of the best option for us to introduce in EV.
Electromagnetic braking system means applying brakes using electronic and magnetic power.
Here we use the principle of electromagnetism to achieve friction less braking. This tends to
increase the life span and reliability of brakes since no friction leads to less wearing out of
brakes. Also it requires less maintenance and oiling. This is an upcoming technological
replacement for traditional braking systems. The main purpose behind the proposed use of
these brakes in vehicles is that it is frictionless. This leads to a sizably less maintenance cost
due to no friction and no oiling. Also traditional braking
systems are prone to slipping while this one is guaranteed to apply brakes to the vehicle. So
without friction or need of lubrication this technology is a preferred replacement for
traditional braking. Also it is quite smaller in size compared to the traditional braking system.
To make electromagnetic brakes work, a magnetic flux when passed in a direction
perpendicular to the rotating direction of the wheel, we see eddy current flowing in a direction
opposite to the rotation of the wheel. This creates an opposing force to the wheel rotation and
in turn slows down the wheel. Thus we achieve electromagnetic braking as a better braking
system for future automobiles.

New advances are landing in this world. Numerous enterprises got profited because of the
entry of these new innovations. A vehicle industry is one of them. As brake is an essential
piece of car innovation, there are developments in brakes as well. The generally utilized
brakes in cars are drum and circle brakes. Electromagnetic braking is an imaginative
innovation and furthermore frames the premise of developing innovation. The break is a
mechanical gadget which includes the change of dynamic vitality into a warm vitality by
halting vehicle in a movement. The working principle of the system is that when the magnetic
flux passes through and perpendicular to the rotating wheel the eddy current flows opposite to
the rotating wheel direction.

1.4 Summary :-
This chapter mainly gives brief idea the A brake is a device which inhibits motion. Its
opposite component is a clutch. Most commonly brakes use friction to convert kinetic energy
into heat, though other methods of energy conversion may be employed. For example
regenerative braking converts much of the energy to electrical energy, which may be stored
for later use. The brakes are different to use in stopped the reciprocating parts and motion
automobile vehicles. The new technology is produced in automobile engineering. An
automobile industry is developing new technology of braking system. These worlds are new
possibility and new thinking of braking system. The automobile industry are also developed
new braking system like to drum brake, disc brake, hydraulic brake, pneumatic brake, air
brake and electromagnetic brake. The different brakes are working on different principle
operation. Future is used in time of hydraulic and disc or drum brake. The different types of
friction brake and electromagnetic brake use. The main principle of electromagnetic brake to
induced kinetic energy into heat energy. Braking system is used to automobile vehicle speed
reduced in slowly. The brake are applied the manually force on a brake pedal to the
mechanical linkage operate and applied the brake drum wheel and motion is slowly reduced
and applied the brake. Brake applied to the vehicle speed reduced in several time and vehicle
to rest. The electromagnetic brakes are new technology of automobile industry for future
concept to use for automobile vehicle and other industry level. Brakes are new technology to
use for vehicle required specification. Automobile vehicle to use for required use in purpose
for like sports car, light motor vehicle, heavy motor vehicle, bikes, sports bikes and off road
vehicles. Heavy motor vehicle is use brakes this time of air brakes. The electromagnetic
brakes are new developed in braking system in automobile engineering. This type brake
mainly working principle is one rotating metal disc in between the two magnets to apply the
brake to induced electric current in circuit to induced magnetic field in armature to attract the
magnet to the rotating metal disc and stopped the rotation in several time while applied brake.

Development of Electro-Magnetic Brake System From our experiment we conclude
that this mechanism is very suitable at high speed. With all the advantages of
electromagnetic brakes over friction brakes, they have been widely used on heavy
vehicles where the ‘brake fading’ problem exists. The same concept is being
developed for application on lighter vehicles. The concept designed by us is just a
prototype and needs to be developed more because of the above mentioned
disadvantages. These electromagnetic brakes can be used as an auxiliary braking
system along with the friction braking system to avoid overheating and brake failure.
12
the risk of thermal failure in braking system were reduced obviously. These
electromagnetic brakes can be used in wet conditions which eliminate the anti-
skidding equipment, and cost of these brake are cheaper than the other types. The
concept designed by us is just a prototype and needs to be developed more. It can not
only be used in the field of automotive but also in the field of aeronautics. Hence the
electromagnetic braking system can be a better technological revolution in the future
application
13
Chapter 3
The idea of using an electromagnet as a brake has been mainly used in large vehicles and
machines. Electromagnets can also be used to make frictionless brakes which is what we are
interested in. Further,
1. we are interested in reducing the rotation of a wheel and hence, angular velocity. Thus, the
desired brake involves dissipating rotational energy.
2. In theory, if a magnetic field is induced in a rotating disc, it will produce eddy currents
within the disc. These currents will then oppose the rotation of the disc by dissipating kinetic
energy in the form of heat (causing the temperature of the disc to increase).
3. To me, this concept did not seem intuitive, so we decided to test it. The magnetic field is
usually generated by an electromagnet. Hence, we interested in knowing if an electromagnet
could really affect the rotation of the wheel.

When the power supply is given the motor, it will rotate the main shaft by using belt pulley
system, aluminum plate is welded with shaft it is rotated in front of the electromagnet.
When the braking is required the control switch is turned on. So, the current or voltage is
applied on the electromagnet.
A magnetic field is created by an energizing coil by the application of voltage or current. This
coil develops magnetic lines of flux between the metal disc thus attracting the armature to the
face of the disc.
When the current or voltage is removed from the brake (electromagnet) the disc is free to
rotate.

Components Specifications:
Electromagnet is the device which get magnetized when the current is feed into it. Here the
electromagnet is designed by modified a typical transformer. The transforms has double side
„E‟ shape outer core around the inner core. This outside „E‟ shape core of the transformer is
removed and then arranged as single side. Now it is act as a electromagnet.
Aluminum Disc The disc is one of the important component been used here. It is made up of
aluminum plate of 5 mm thickness. The diameter of the disc is 255 mm. At last the disc is
fitted with the pulley by the use of 4 mm screws.
Switch And Wires ON/OFF switch used to control the power supply to the electromagnet. It
is connected with the electromagnet. A typical common electric switch is used here. When the
rotation of the pulley is to be stop, the braking is applied by turned the switch on. When the
free rotation of the pulley is required the switch is turned off. To provide the electric supply to
24
the motor and the electromagnet the electric wire is used here. The copper wire has been used
here since it has the better electrical conductivity.
Ac Motor The rotary motion of the wheel is given by the AC motor. The electric motor
convert electric energy into mechanical energy by electromagnetic induction. The motor been
used here is the typical grinder motor.
MATERIAL SELECTION
25
The proper selection of material for the different part of a machine is the main objective in the
fabrication of machine. For a design engineer it is must that he be familiar with the effect,
which the manufacturing process and heat treatment have on the properties of materials. The
Choice of material for engineering purposes depends upon the following factors:
The mechanical properties of the metals are those, which are associated with the ability of the
material to resist mechanical forces and load. We shall now discuss these properties as
follows:
3. Stiffness: It is the ability of material to resist deformation under stresses. The modules
4. Elasticity: It is the property of a material to regain its original shape after deformation
when the external forces are removed. This property is desirable for material used in
tools and machines. It may be noted that steel is more elastic than rubber.
5. Plasticity: It is the property of a material, which retain the deformation produced under
load permanently. This property of material is necessary for forging, in stamping
images on coins and in ornamental work.
6. Ductility: It is the property of a material enabling it to be drawn into wire with the
application of a tensile force. A ductile material must be both strong and plastic. The
ductility is usually measured by the terms, percentage elongation and percent
reduction in area. The ductile materials commonly used in engineering practice are
mild steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, zinc, tin and lead.
26
7. Brittleness: It is the property of material opposite to ductile. It is the property of
breaking of a material with little permanent distortion. Brittle materials when
subjected to tensile loads snap off without giving any sensible elongation. Cast iron is
a brittle material.
8. Malleability: It is a special case of ductility, which permits material to be rolled or
hammered into thin sheets, a malleable material should be plastic but it is not essential
to be so strong. The malleable materials commonly used in engineering practice are
lead, soft steel, wrought iron, copper and aluminum.
9. Toughness: It is the property of a material to resist the fracture due to high impact
loads like hammer blows. The toughness of the material decreases when it is heated.
It is measured by the amount of absorbed after being stressed up to the point of
fracture. This property is desirable in parts subjected to shock an impact loads.
10. Resilience: It is the property of a material to absorb energy and to resist rock and
impact loads. It is measured by amount of energy absorbed per unit volume within
elastic limit. This property is essential for spring material.
11. Creep: When a part is subjected to a constant stress at high temperature for long
period of time, it will undergo a slow and permanent deformation called creep. This
property is considered in designing internal combustion engines, boilers and turbines.
12. Hardness: It is a very important property of the metals and has a wide verity of
meanings. It embraces many different properties such as resistance to wear scratching,
deformation and mach inability etc. It also means the ability of the metal to cut another
metal. The hardness is usually expressed in numbers, which are dependent on the method
of making the test. The hardness of a metal may be determined by the following test.
a) Brinell hardness test
b) Rockwell hardness test
c) Vickers hardness (also called diamond pyramid) test and
d) Share scaleroscope.
The science of the metal is a specialized and although it overflows in to realms of knowledge
it tends to shut away from the general reader. The knowledge of materials and their properties
is of great significance for a design engineer. The machine elements should be made of such a
material which has properties suitable for the conditions of operations. In addition to this a
design engineer must be familiar with the manufacturing processes and the heat treatments
have on the properties of the materials. In designing the various part of the machine it is
27
necessary to know how the material will function in service. For this certain characteristics or
mechanical properties mostly used in mechanical engineering practice are commonly
determined from standard tensile tests. In engineering practice, the machine parts are
subjected to various forces, which may be due to either one or more of the following.
1. Energy transmitted
2. Weight of machine
3. Frictional resistance
4. Inertia of reciprocating parts
5. Change of temperature
6. Lack of balance of moving parts
The selection of the materials depends upon the various types of stresses that are set up during
operation. The material selected should with stand it. Another criteria for selection of metal
depend upon the type of load because a machine part resist load more easily than a live load
and live load more easily than a shock load.
Selection of the material depends upon factor of safety, which in turn depends upon the
following factors.
1. Reliabilities of properties
2. Reliability of applied load
3. The certainty as to exact mode of failure
4. The extent of simplifying assumptions
5. The extent of localized
6. The extent of initial stresses set up during manufacturing
7. The extent loss of life if failure occurs
8. The extent of loss of property if failure occurs
28
Materials selected in m/c
Material used
Mild steel
Reasons:
M.S. has a carbon content from 0.15% to 0.30%. They are easily wieldable thus can be
hardened only. They are similar to wrought iron in properties. Both ultimate tensile and
compressive strength of these steel increases with increasing carbon content. They can be
easily gas welded or electric or arc welded. With increase in the carbon percentage weld
ability decreases.
Mild steel serve the purpose and was hence was selected because of the above purpose
BRIGHT MATERIAL:
It is a machine dawned. The main basic difference between mild steel and bright metal is that
mild steel plates and bars are forged in the forging machine by means is hot forged. But the
materials are drawn from the dies in the plastic state. Therefore the material has good surface
finish than mild steel and has no carbon deposits on its surface for extrusion and formation of
29
engineering materials thus giving them a good surface finish and though retaining their
metallic properties
MANUFACTURING
The process of conversion of raw material in to finished products using the three resources
as Man, machine and finished sub-components. Manufacturing is the term by which we
transform resource inputs to create Useful goods and services as outputs. Manufacturing
can also be said as an intentional act of producing something useful . The transformation
process is shown below-
It s the phase after the design. Hence referring to the those values we will plan The
various processes using the following machines:-
i) Universal lathe
ii) Milling machine
iii) Grinding machine
iv) Power saw
v) Drill machine
vi) Electric arc welding machine

CHAPTER NO
MACHINE DESIGN
Introduction: This chapter describes some of the mathematical technique used by designers of
complex structures. Mathematical models and analysis are briefly described and detail
description is given of the finite – element method of structural analysis. Solution techniques
are presented for static, dynamic & model analysis problems. As part of the design procedure
the designer must be analyses the entire structure and some of its components. To perform
this analysis the designer will develop mathematical models of structure that are
approximation of the real structure, these models are used to determine the important
parameters in the design. The type of structural model the designer uses depends on the
information that is needed and the type of analysis the designer can perform.
1. Rigid Members: The entire structure or parts of the structure are considered to be
31
2. Flexible members: The entire structure or parts of the structure are modeled by
members that can deform, but in limited ways. Examples of this members trusses, beams
and plates.
3. Continuum: A continuum model of structure is the most general, since few if any
mathematical assumptions about the behavior of the structure need to be made prior to
making a continuum model. A continuum member is based on the full three – dimensional
The designer also must consider type of analysis to be performed. Four typical analysis
1. Static equilibrium: In this analysis the designer is trying to the determine the overall
forces and moments that the design will undergo. The analysis is usually done with rigid
2. Deformation: This analysis is concerned with how much the structure will move when
operating under the design loads. This analysis is usually done with flexible members.
3. Stress: In this analysis the designers wants a very detailed picture of where and at
what level the stresses are in the design. This analysis usually done with continuum
members.
4. Frequency : This analysis is concerned with determining the natural frequencies and
made shape of a structure. This analysis can be done with either flexible members of a
structure. This analysis can be done with either flexible members or continuum members
32
Consideration in Machine Design
33
How do we design ?
Newcomers to design often feel unsure of themselves because the problems encountered are
unlike those previously solved successfully in other units such as Dynamics, Strength of
Materials &c. Although there is no mechanistic series of steps leading to the 'correct' solution
of a design problem, there are techniques which may be learned for tackling design with
confidence and with reasonable expectation of achieving a 'close- to- optimum' solution.
The illustrated Design Processes one such technique, and will form the model for design
throughout this course - however the success of the process, like that of any human endeavor,
depends largely on the attitude, skill and effort of the practitioner(s).
It is not enough to unthinkingly accept the problem as given, instead the designer must
amplify and state the problem in terms which are both :
o broad, in not being constrained unnecessarily, and
o complete, in identifying everyone and everything likely to be affected by any
solution.
The problem statement contains information relevant to the next two activities :
The designer, assisted by methods which enhance creativity, generates ideas for
possible solutions to the problem. This activity is inventive and often comprises a free
association of ideas based upon the designer's knowledge of solutions to analogous
problems. Ideas are recorded but not criticized in any way - the activity must be totally
non-judgmental since criticism cripples creativity.
When idea generation is exhausted, the result of this activity is a bank of many
potential solution candidates - some are later found to be good, some bad, some ugly.
The constraints and criteria reflect the wish lists of all those identified as having a stake in the
problem, so this very detailed activity is really one of completing the problem in unequivocal
terms. This activity is left until after ideation has finished, thereby avoiding the stifling of
ideation by prior nit-picking detail.
34
Design calculations
Design of Motor:
The purpose of a motor, regardless of the application, is to change electrical power to mechanical
power in order to provide rotational movement. Every application will have its own distinct
parameters for input and output power.
The diagram in Figure 1 provides a visual representation of the input and output parameters of a
motor.
The input electrical power can be in the form of a DC battery, AC line voltage, rectified AC line
voltage, or a wide variety of controls. Affected by application and environmental constraints
along with the necessary power needed to move a load, the input power will be volts, amps, and
frequency.
The output power is the motor speed and torque response required to accomplish the task. Figure

DESIGNING OF SHAFT
BENDING:
The material forces that are developed on any cross section of the shaft give rise to
stresses at every point. The internal or resisting moment gives rise to so called
bending stresses.
TORSION:
When the shaft is twisted by the couple such that the axis of the shaft and the axis
of the couple coincides, the shaft is subjected to pure torsion and the stresses at
In practice the shaft in general are subjected to combination of the above two types

2. Pull of belts

V- Belt
The V-belts are made of fabric and cords molded in rubber and covered with fabric and rubber
as shown in Fig. These belts are molded to a trapezoidal shape and are made endless. These
are particularly suitable for short drives. The included angle for the V-belt is usually
from 30° to 40°. The power is transmitted by the wedging.
The wedging action of the V-belt in the groove of the pulley results in higher forces of
friction. A little consideration will show that the wedging action and the transmitted torque
will be more if the groove angle of the pulley is small. But a small groove angle
will require more force to pull the belt out of the groove which will result in loss of power and
excessive belt wear due to friction and heat. Hence the selected groove angle is a compromise
between the two. Usually the groove angles of 32° to 38° are used.

Results;
By using the electromagnetic brake as supplementary retardation equipment, the friction
brakes can be used less frequently, and therefore practically never reach high temperatures.
The brake linings would last considerably longer before requiring maintenance, and the
potentially “brake fade” problem could be avoided. In research conducted by a truck
manufacturer, it was proved that the electromagnetic brake assumed 80 percent of the duty
which would otherwise have been demanded of the regular service brake.
Furthermore, the electromagnetic brake prevents the dangers that can arise from the
prolonged use of brakes beyond their capability to dissipate heat. This is most likely to occur
while a vehicle descending a long gradient at high speed. The installation of an
electromagnetic brake is not very difficult. It does not need a subsidiary cooling system. It
does not effect on the efficiency of engine. Electromagnetic brake also has better
controllability. Thermal stability of the electromagnetic brakes is achieved by means of the
convection and radiation of the heat energy at high temperature. The electromagnetic brakes
have excellent heat dissipation efficiency. Electromagnetic brakes have better thermal
dynamic performance than regular friction brakes.
44
Advantages:
• No friction loss
• Less heat loss Less wear of components
• Fully electromagnetically controlled
• Great braking efficiency potential to regain energy lost in braking
• No need to change brake oils regularly
• No oil leakage Problem of brake fluid vaporization and freezing is eliminated
• Less maintenance cost
• Longer life span compare to other brakes
Applications:
• Failure to act as a holding device
• Usage of electric power for braking
• Less effective under very low velocities
