A device for use in generating electric power and braking, a kit and a brake unit of the same are provided. A brake body in the brake unit includes a plurality of brake blocks. The brake unit has an electromagnetic air gap which is adjustable and controllable in high precision. Therefore, the tolerance of the electromagnetic air gap between the brake unit and the wheel is made small, even without increasing the machining precision and costs of the brake unit, thereby enhancing resistance precision.

A vehicle drive device with a reduction device includes an input driving unit that provides a driving force, a transmission part comprising a first rotor, a second rotor, and a stator stacked in a rotational axial direction of the input driving unit, and an output part connected to one of the first rotor or the second rotor. In particular, the input driving unit is connected to the other of the first rotor or the second rotor.

The disclosure relates to a brake device for an electric motor, which has at least one armature winding and at least one field winding, comprising at least one open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit at least for open-loop control and/or closed-loop control of at least one electric current through the armature winding and/or through the field winding. According to the disclosure, in the event of short-circuit braking of the electric motor, the open-loop and/or control-loop unit is intended to reduce, at least temporarily, an electric armature current flowing through the armature winding.

An example system includes a disk that is rotatable and has a plurality of ferromagnetic elements disposed in a radial array on a surface of the disk; and at least one electro-permanent magnet (EPM) mounted adjacent to the disk such that a gap separates the disk from the EPM. Applying an electric pulse to the at least one EPM changes a magnetic state thereof, thereby generating an external magnetic field that traverses the gap between the disk and the EPM and interacts with a ferromagnetic element of the plurality of ferromagnetic elements, and causing a rotational speed of the disk to change as the disk rotates.

A controller controls switching between a braked state in which a movable meshing part 7 comes close to and meshes with a motor meshing part 6 and a brake released state in which the movable meshing part 7 is separated from the motor meshing part 6.

A linear generator for generating electrical power from momentum of a vehicle, comprises a moving part and a stator. The moving part is a powered vehicle moving along a defined path and the stator is built along the defined path. Examples are trains and elevators, and the linear generator may be used to help with braking and at the same time prevent waste of the energy from the vehicle momentum.
