Why aluminum plate in eddy current device?
(OP)
Could someone explain the purpose and function of the aluminum seperator plate within a magnetic resistance exercise device (eddy current)? We have just finished prototypes with and without said aluminum liner plate, and there seems to be no difference in resistance generated. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

can you explain why the original question reports that there is no loss of mechanical resistance when it is removed?

I would have to see the assembly set up

For maximum torque, set the North and South poles directly opposite each other(maximum flux),bolted to the frame, with the conductive Aluminum plate connected to your moving part. Also, use steel/iron keeper plates behind the magnets preferrably connected together like a C-shaped magnet to concentrate the field.

Does anyone have an explanation as to why the originator reports that the alum. plate made no difference in the amount of mechanical resistence generated?
