electric brake

[i¦lek·trik ′brāk]
(mechanical engineering)
An actuator in which the actuating force is supplied by current flowing through a solenoid, or through an electromagnet which is thereby attracted to disks on the rotating member, actuating the brake shoes; this force is counteracted by the force of a compression spring. Also known as electromagnetic brake.
