Abstract : When operating any machinery the basic safety system that is put into use is the braking system. The transformation of kinetic energy to heat energy due to formation of friction forms the basic design of a braking system. The friction is developed by the rubbing between two surfaces. There are several problems posed by these. To overcome these problems, a magnetic brake has been developed. The concept involves magnets that generate eddy currents which are conducted by the discs. This brake has no wear as it is contactless, it is less responsive to temperature than the commonly used frictional brakes, it also has a quick and simple actuation, and has a reduced response to wheel-locking. This is obtained by the creation of a braking force due to a magnetic field across the moving conductor that induces eddy currents which creates a perpendicular magnetic field. The wide range of applications of these brakes firmly infer the viability and simplicity of this activity. The braking Power can be changed to control considerably higher torque loads by changing the number of turns of the coil or by even increasing the voltage. This gives flexibility of operation of the system and makes it reliable also in changing load patterns
