Abstract : The eddy current brake(ECB) is built by corresponding motion between a coil and a metallic material. The eddy current and coil creates reverse magnetic fields w produces braking force and dissipated heat due to resistivity of rotor material. In this paper, an ECB system is offered and different rotor materials are investigated with respect to generated braking torque.
