Brakes are external power transmission devices that are installed in mechanical systems. They are used for applying force to slow or stop a running motor, or hold a load. Also, they are used to prevent a machine or system from moving again. A combination of brakes and clutches are built into the design of most power transmission systems.
Depending on the specific requirement, a brake can be designed to function as an external or internal device. Thus, it can be either positioned off the gearbox or motor, or built into the motor (or gear motor).
