The utility model discloses a flat type permanent
magnet brake which comprises a
brake body formed by coaxially arranging an outer
flange, an armature, an inner
flange, an inner magnetic pole, a permanent
magnet and a magnetic shell, a pre-stretched elastic element is arranged between the outer
flange and the armature, and the elastic element continuously pulls the armature to move towards the outer flange; a containing groove is formed in the magnetic shell, a permanent
magnet and a coil are arranged in the containing groove, the
diameter of the permanent magnet is larger than that of the coil, and the permanent magnet is arranged on the outer side of the coil; the permanent magnet is further fixedly connected with an inner magnetic pole, an inner flange is further arranged on the containing groove, the containing groove forms a
closed space through the inner flange, the inner magnetic pole and the permanent magnet, the
closed space is provided with at least one gap, and the coil is arranged in the
closed space. The overall dimension of the geometry of the
brake is not damaged, the thickness of the brake can be greatly reduced, the output braking force is large, and the performance is more stable.
