[0002] A direct-drive five-axis cradle turntable is a highly complex mechanical system designed to achieve multi-degree-of-freedom motion control, including rotation and tilting around multiple axes. In many applications, the turntable must be quickly and precisely stopped and locked during operation to ensure the accurate positioning and safety of the workpiece or equipment. Traditional braking systems typically use friction brakes or electromagnetic brakes to achieve this stopping function. Friction brakes rely on the contact of friction materials to brake the turntable, while electromagnetic brakes use electromagnetic force to achieve braking. However, these traditional braking systems have limitations in high-speed and high-precision applications. Summary of the Invention
