Electric brakes, also called electromagnetic brakes, magnetic brakes, crane brakes, hoist brakes, or mill brakes, use an electrically energized coil to release, apply, or control a mechanical friction brake. These brakes are commonly used for stopping and holding crane hoists, bridge and trolley drives, conveyors, rolling mills, winches, and other industrial machinery. Available styles include DC shunt wound brakes, series wound brakes, drum brakes, shoe brakes, disc brakes, and spring applied electrically released brakes.
