Abstract


In the last decades, magnetic brake has obtained a great intention to replace the commonly used frictional brake, especially in robotic applications. The working principles of magnetic brakes are simple, but designing magnetic brakes for a specific application is quite difficult and requires intensive research, large material resources, and costly processes, especially when a trial-and-error approach is used. This paper provides a method to design a magnetic brake that can stop a rotating disc at a specific time. In this study, a magnetic disc brake with four control parameters has been selected, with four levels for each control parameter. These control parameters are air gap width, electromagnet area, flux density, and Initial speed. The  stopping time, where the angular velocity, the torque, and the dissipated power become negligible, has been measured. Taguchi method has been used to determine the order of the effect of each control parameter on the selected quantities. Furthermore, the study has used the multivariable linear regression model to confirm Taguchi method. As a case study, the parameters for the magnetic brake are tuned to make it able to stop the rotating disc at a specific time of 10 s. This paper shows that the most influential parameter on the time for the selected quantities to become negligible is the flux density, followed by the air gap width, the electromagnet area, and the Initial speed, respectively. Multivariable linear regression analyses validate the results of Taguchi method based on the data mean analyses. COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6 is used to simulate the magnetic brake under study, which is able to stop at 10 s, based on the results from Taguchi method and multivariable linear regression analyses. This paper will empower the design for a magnetic brake that can stop at a specific time according to its application, and that is by tuning the control parameters investigated in this study in a straightforward way.
