Electromagnetic Brakes By Motor Engineering Industries

A typical electromagnetic brake is composed of a metal disc (rotor) attached to a rotating axis and electromagnets or permanent magnets positioned to generate a magnetic field intersecting the disc. The electromagnet allows control of the braking action by varying the strength of the magnetic field to produce a braking force, electric current is passed through the electromagnets. As the metal disc rotates inside the magnetic field, electric currents, called eddy currents, are induced inside it. Those currents then generate a magnetic field in opposition to the original field thus creating a force which acts to decelerate the rotating disc.
