One of the main elements of safe operation of gravity flow racks used in pallet racks is a brake roller. The most promising design is a centrifugal brake roller of magnetic (eddy current) type. The principle of operation of such rollers is based on the laws of electromagnetic induction and involves the deceleration of a conductor moving in a magnetic field, due to the interaction of eddy currents (or Foucault currents) arising in the volume of the conductor, with an external magnetic field. The mathematical model of the process of pallet movement along a centrifugal brake roller of magnetic type is developed in the article. The equation of the speed of movement of the pallet along the centrifugal brake roller of magnetic type is obtained. Comparative analysis of the speed of movement of a pallet along centrifugal and disc brake rollers of magnetic type is carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
