What Is an Electromagnetic Brake?

Electromagnetic brakes, often referred to as EM brakes, operate using magnetic force to apply braking torque. Their core components include a coil, armature, electromagnet, and friction surface. When energized, the coil generates a magnetic field that attracts the armature, pressing it against the friction disc and producing the necessary resistance to slow or stop motion.

These brakes come in multiple configurations—such as power-on, power-off, and spring-applied designs—each suited to different safety and operational needs.

An electromagnetic brake, also known as an EM brake, uses magnetic force to apply mechanical resistance. These electro-mechanical brakes rely on a coil, armature, and friction disc or pressure plate. When electric current is applied to the coil, it produces a magnetic field that pulls the armature against the friction surface, creating braking torque. This design allows the brake to be actuated quickly and disengaged when needed.

Electromagnetic brakes are available in a variety of brake models and configurations such as power-on, power-off, and spring applied brakes. Many of these brake designs include fail-safe mechanisms, ensuring the brake is applied during a power failure.

How does an electromagnet brake system work?

Electromagnetic braking systems operate using electromagnetic force. When current is applied to the coil, the resulting electromagnetic field draws the armature into contact with the disc, creating the friction necessary to transmit torque and stop movement. This power-on actuation is reversed when power is removed, using springs or magnetic release to disengage the brake.

The core components of these systems include:

  • Coil: Applied to the coil, electric current activates the brake
  • Armature: Creates friction against the disc
  • Friction disc: Ensures braking torque and reducing wear
  • Electromagnet: Generates the magnetic field

This setup ensures fast response, zero backlash, and accurate control—ideal for applications requiring high torque and reliability.

SFB Series

SFB

The SFB series from Dellner Bubenzer is a high-performance electromagnetic disc brake built for demanding industrial applications. As a spring applied brake, the SFB engages mechanically during power failure, ensuring a fail-safe stop.

Key features:

  • Compact design with high torque ratings
  • Sealed to IP67 for environmental protection
  • Friction surface designed for fast response and minimal wear
  • Suited for use in cranes, conveyor belts, and steel processing

These brakes are commonly used in applications involving automation, where fail-safe performance and reliable actuation are critical.

SFB
KFB Series

KFB

The KFB series enhances the functionality of the SFB, offering a broader range of high-performance features. As a spring applied electromagnetic disc brake, it provides consistent braking force even under extreme conditions.

Key features:

  • Permanent magnets integrated for holding brakes
  • Flexible mounting (horizontal/vertical)
  • Suitable for winch manufacturers, robotics, and offshore systems
  • Ideal for applications involving zero-backlash and fast actuation

The KFB’s robust design and high braking torque make it ideal for heavy-duty mechanical systems.

KFB

Applications of Electromagnetic Brakes

Typical applications include:

  • Cranes and hoists – Applying mechanical resistance during lifts
  • Wind turbines – Brakes are used for rotor holding and control
  • Marine propulsion – Ensuring safe operation and docking
  • Automation and robotics – Where accurate braking and torque control are essential
  • Steel, mining, and construction – For machinery that requires spring applied brakes with high inertia control

These brakes make a significant difference in applications requiring frictional clamping force and systems requiring rapid disengage or power-off safety.

Key Benefits and System Design

Electromagnetic disc brakes offer several distinct benefits:

  • Fast actuation and disengage time
  • Braking torque mechanically applied with accuracy
  • Fail-safe functionality with spring applied designs
  • High-performance friction disc and zero-backlash capability
  • Compression springs and permanent magnets for holding and actuation

Their versatility and system design flexibility make them ideal for both standard and custom installations.

Maintenance and Durability

Modern brake designs include IP67-rated housings for protection against dust and moisture. High torque electromagnetic brakes also include friction surfaces engineered to reduce wear, ensuring long service life. Periodic checks of coil integrity, armature alignment, and braking torque output help maintain system reliability.

At Euro HÜBNER, we assist clients with product selection, replacement parts, and ongoing technical support to ensure your system remains efficient and safe.
