Electromagnetic brakes are switchable machine elements that precisely stop or hold movements. Applying electrical energy creates a magnetic field that establishes or releases the frictional connection between two components. This allows drive sequences to be controlled very quickly and with high repeat accuracy. The result is exact positioning, reproducible switching operations and a reliable holding force, even at high cycle rates and continuous operation.
