DEFINITION

Classification: 318/765

Eddy current braking circuits:

(under subclass 757) Subject matter wherein the motor rotor has an electrical conducting member connected thereto and an electrical winding associated with the conducting member such that current passing through the winding creates a changing electromagnetic field within the conducting member which induces eddy currents which create an electromagnetic force in a direction which opposes rotation of the motor to slow or stop the motor.
