Electromagnetic brake
Electromagnetic brakes, also called eddy current brakes, seek to retard motion or cause deceleration in a moving system. Unlike conventional brakes, which operate by causing friction between moving parts, in an electromagnetic brake kinetic energy is converted to heat without contact between the moving parts.
