Abstract
Abstract An electromagnetic brake includes a pair of spaced apart parallel E-shaped laminated electromagnetic bodies in the recesses of which there is disposed an exciter coil. The electromagnetic bodies and the coil are potted in plastic. The plastic forms a flat planar surface flush with the pole faces of the electromagnetic bodies to serve as a friction surface which brakes a friction disc keyed to a shaft to be braked.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
An electromagnetic brake for a rotatable shaft comprising: an exciter coil; an electromagnetic means having recesses for receiving said exciter coil and further having coplanar flat pole places; said electromagnetic means being in the form of a pair of magnetic bodies of generally E-shaped laminations, said exciter coil being in the recesses thereof; insulating material encapsulating said exciter coil and insulating same from said electromagnetic means; said insulating material effecting a flat friction surface substantially flush with said friction plane; a magnetically sensitive friction disc fastened to said shaft and rotatably juxtaposed to said friction surface; and means for electrically energizing said exciter coil whereby the magnetic field of said body draws said disc onto said friction plane to brake said shaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
An electromagnetic brake for a rotatable shaft comprising: an exciter coil; an electromagnetic means having recesses for receiving said exciter coil and further having coplanar flat pole places; said electromagnetic means being in the form of a pair of magnetic bodies of generally E-shaped laminations, said exciter coil being in the recesses thereof; insulating material encapsulating said exciter coil and insulating same from said electromagnetic means; said insulating material effecting a flat friction surface substantially flush with said friction plane; a magnetically sensitive friction disc fastened to said shaft and rotatably juxtaposed to said friction surface; and means for electrically energizing said exciter coil whereby the magnetic field of said body draws said disc onto said friction plane to brake said shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A brake as in claim 1 wherein said insulating means is plastic compound potted around and onto said coil and electromagnetic bodies.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A brake as in claim 1 wherein said insulating material has a central axial opening through which said shaft passes.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A brake as in claim 1 wherein said disc is fastened to said shaft by means of cross pins.
