Electromagnetic brakes or EM brakes are used to slow or stop vehicles using electromagnetic force to apply magnetic resistance through induction or mechanical resistance (friction). They were originally called electro-mechanical brakes but over the years the name changed to "electromagnetic brakes", referring to their actuation method which is generally unrelated to modern electro-mechanical brakes.
