Performance of Linear Motor Type Rail Brake Using Roller Rig Test Bench

Last updated on 26 April 2012 2:26

Studies have been carried out on a rail brake applying linear induction motor technology, called LIM-type rail brake. This brake is capable of generating braking forces without contact. In addition, this method decreases the rise in rail temperature, and no onboard supply is required by using dynamic braking. It is...
