Magnetic rail brakes and brake pads therefor for rail vehicles and high-speed rail vehicles

摘要

The magnetic braking system is positioned directly above a metal rail (320) and has a ring coil (301) that is located around a magnetic core (305) that is U-shaped with a pair of arms (305a,305b) with pole shoes (310) set at a distance from the rail. In the space between the pole shoes a strip (330) of magnetic, wear resistant, shock resistant and temperature stable material is set. The pole shoes are of ferrite with molybdenum sulphite, carbon and silicon.
