Abstract
Abstract An electromagnet for brakes and clutches having outer and inner poles and an electrical coil for magnetizing the poles for engaging the armature of the brake or clutch, in which the armature contact face of the poles is provided with alternate lands and recesses. The lands and recesses may be in a variety of different shapes, including those with straight and circular configurations. The lands are preferably crowned and the recesses may be filled with an abrasive-impregnated material, such as an epoxy, to increase the frictional characteristics of the magnet.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
56 words
An electromagnet for brakes and clutches having an armature, comprising an outer pole and an inner pole, an electrical coil for magnetizing said poles, said poles having faces for engaging the armature of the brake or clutch, and spaced armature contact surfaces consisting of a plurality of alternate lands with recesses therebetween in said pole faces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
56 words
An electromagnet for brakes and clutches having an armature, comprising an outer pole and an inner pole, an electrical coil for magnetizing said poles, said poles having faces for engaging the armature of the brake or clutch, and spaced armature contact surfaces consisting of a plurality of alternate lands with recesses therebetween in said pole faces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
