How do electromagnetic brakes work?
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.
