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.

The invention relates to the supplemental generation of energy from operation of a train, and specifically to the generation of energy in connection to the rotation of disc brake rotors in combination with generators. Rotation of the disc brake rotors creates rotational energy that is transmitted to the generators, which then transmits the energy to a series of batteries for storage. The batteries may be stored in the platform for the train and/or within the train car itself. Energy from the batteries may be utilized by removal of the batteries from the train or through a number of outlets, sockets or connectors associated with the train car or platform.

A braking mechanism for an electric motor includes an electromagnet configured to be selectively energized in response to a control signal. The braking mechanism also includes a first braking member coupled for co-rotation with a motor shaft of the electric motor, the first braking member being configured to selectively translate axially relative to the motor shaft between a first position and a second position. The braking mechanism also includes a second braking member located between the first braking member and the electromagnet and rotationally fixed relative to the first braking member. When the electromagnet is energized, the electromagnet causes the first braking member to translate from the first position to the second position at which the first braking member engages the second braking member to brake the electric motor.

The decelerating device according to the disclosure includes first and second planetary gear mechanisms arranged in an inner space of a hollow type electric motor having an annular rotor. The first planetary gear mechanism includes a first ring gear integral with the rotor, a non-rotatable first carrier for supporting a first pinion gear engaged with the first ring gear to be rotatable, and a first sun gear engaged with the first pinion gear. The second planetary gear mechanism includes a second ring gear integral with the rotor, a second carrier supporting a second pinion gear engaged with the second ring gear to be rotatable and connected to the output shaft, and a second sun gear engaged with the second pinion gear and connected to the first sun gear.

An electromagnetic braking assembly for maintaining an actuator shaft in position, and methods for utilizing the same, are provided. The actuator shaft may include an object, e.g., an imaging lens, which is movable in accordance with movement of the shaft. The braking assembly may include a braking coil to which electricity may be applied to produce a magnetic field, a braking magnet capable of changing position as it interacts with the magnetic field, and a braking spring coupled with the magnet such that the spring changes position as the magnet changes position. When the braking spring is in one position, the spring exerts pressure on the actuator shaft substantially preventing the shaft from engaging in linear movement and thus maintaining the shaft in position. When the actuator shaft is in another position, the braking spring does not exert pressure on the shaft permitting the shaft to engage in linear movement.

A stator core has first, second, and third pole teeth disposed circumferentially and projecting radially outward, the first pole teeth face rotor magnets and have symmetric tooth tips, the second and third pole teeth are circumferentially disposed adjacent to the first pole teeth and have asymmetric tooth tips, and a distance between the tooth tips of the second and third pole teeth is smaller than a distance between the tooth tips of the first and second pole teeth and the distance between the tooth tips of the first and third pole teeth. This apparently reduces the facing ratio between the stator pole teeth and the rotor magnetic poles and increases the cogging torque while preventing increase in cost and reduction in workability.

An actuator (202) includes a stick-shaped center yoke (1) inserted through a cylindrical outer yoke (10), a support member that supports the outer yoke (10) such that the outer yoke (10) is linearly movable in an axial direction of the center yoke (1), a first coil (2), a second coil (3), and a third coil (4) wound around the center yoke (1), a first magnet array (11) and a second magnet array (12) disposed on an inner periphery of the outer yoke (10) in such a manner as to face the first coil (2), the second coil (3), and the third coil (4), a flat base plate (13) disposed at a first end portion of the center yoke (1), and a heat radiation member touching the base plate (13).
