How does an electromagnetic brake work?

 

The stator body is equipped with a magnetic field coil, which is a copper coil cast in synthetic resin. A magnetic field is generated when a current is applied, which attracts the armature plate to block the friction liner, thereby transferring the braking torque to the output hub. After cutting off the current, the reset spring pulls the armature plate back to its original position.

 

How does the electromagnetic clutch work?

 

"Electromagnetic clutches and brakes work in a very similar way.

 

The stator body is equipped with a magnetic field coil, which is a copper coil cast in synthetic resin. The clutch is activated by connecting direct current to the field coil. This creates a magnetic field, and the armature plate is attracted to the input drive hub by electromagnetic attraction through the friction liner, which transfers torque from the input to the output. When the current is cut off, the axial positioning output drive hub will be separated from the input. A reset spring ensures that the armature plate is separated from the input hub.
