Electromagnetic brakes work like this.

The brake shoes are moved by solenoids. These solenoids actually keep the brakes OFF when power is going to them. When the electronic brake is actuated, the brake control decreases the amount of voltage going to the solenoids there fore allowing the brake to contact the brake drum. When the safety switch (break away switch) is activated, the battery in the supply box, provides full power forcing the brake pads against the drums causing the vehicle to stop immediately.

How do Transrapid Maglevs Slow and Stop?

Transrapid Maglevs slow down and stop using a combination of electromagnetic brakes and eddy-current brakes. Electromagnetic brakes work by applying a magnetic field to the track, which induces a current in the moving magnets of the train, creating a force that opposes the motion. Eddy-current brakes work by creating a magnetic field that interacts with the conducting track, generating eddy currents which create an opposite magnetic field that slows down the train. These braking systems work together to gradually slow down and bring the Transrapid Maglev to a stop.
