Abstract
An eddy current brake has a particular cooling system which alleviates overheating of the brake and its individual components. Cooling conduits comprising a plurality of parallel flow lines are disposed close to the heated components and the arrangement is such that heat is uniformly exchanged and removed from the brake. Cooling medium flows through the conduits along the plurality of flow lines and the distribution of cooling medium is such that the velocity of flow is substantially equal along each line.
