Braking motor vehicle crankshaft by using eddy current retarder which comprises inboard pulley for ancillaries and a stator and field winding coaxial with the crankshaft and located within a rotor

摘要

The retarder (1) is mounted on the outside (3a) of the engine crankcase and a has a pulley (6) adjacent to the crankcase for ancillaries. A hollow rotor (2) designed for cooling accommodates a stator (4) which has pole pieces (16) and windings (5). The winding current is controlled and the stator is secured to the crankcase by a frame (19) which has fixing arms (24)
