TAXIING DEVICE WITH COMBINED RADIAL AND AXIAL MAGNETIC FLUX BRAKING, AND AIRCRAFT EQUIPPED WITH SAME

Abstract: a rolling device for a vehicle includes a wheel having a hub to be mounted to pivot on a shaft and a rim including first annular portion delimiting a recess receiving an eddy current magnetic braking device including a stator constrained to rotate with the shaft, a rotor constrained to rotate with the wheel and provided with a first surface facing a first surface of the stator to form a first pair of surfaces, and first magnets for generating a first magnetic flux which passes through the first pair of surfaces. the rotor includes a second surface facing a second surface of the stator to form a second pair of surfaces and the magnetic braking device includes second magnets for generating a second magnetic flux which passes through the second pair of surfaces. the first magnetic flux is axial and the second magnetic flux is radial.
