ADVANTAGES

1. Electromagnetic brakes can develop a negative power which represents nearly

twice the maximum power output of a typical engine.

2. Electromagnetic brakes work in a relatively cool condition and satisfy all

the energy requirements of braking at high speeds, completely without the use of
friction. Due to its specific installation location (transmission line of rigid
vehicles), electromagnetic brakes have better heat dissipation capability to avoid
problems that friction brakes face times the braking power of an exhaust brake.

3.Electromagnetic brakes have been used as supplementary retardation equipment

in addition to the regular friction brakes on heavy vehicles.

4. Electromagnetic brakes has great braking efficiency and has the potential to
regain energy lost in braking.

5. Its component cost is less.

DIS ADVANTAGES

1. The installation of an electromagnetic brake is very difficult if there is

Not enough space between the gearbox and the rear axle.
Electromagnetic brakes have been used as supplementary retardation equipment in
addition to the regular friction brakes on heavy vehicles.An electromagnetic brake
would be very advantageous, as it has great braking efficiency and has the potential
to regain energy lost in braking. When used in a large vehicle, these regenerative
brakes could generate large quantities of electricity to be re-used by the vehicle,
instead of being lost as heat. Furthermore, these electromagnetic brakes would
reduce break wear, a common problem with many cars.

Advantage of Electrical Braking over Mechanical Braking:

Electric braking is fast and cheap.
In electric braking there is no maintenance cost like replaced brake shoes
periodically.
By using electic braking the capacity of the system( like higher speeds,
heavy loads) can be increased.
A part of energy is returned to the supply consequently the running cost is
reduced.
In electric braking negligible amount of heat is generated whereas in
mechanical braking enormous heat is produced at brake shoes which leads to
failure of brakes.

This brake system can be use in two wheeler.Electromagnetic braking system can be used as
amodern technology of braking in automobile.Electromagnetic braking system will be used
in all typesof light motor vehicle like car and heavy motor vehicle.
