摘要

A brake assembly (22) for an elevator traction machine (12) is disclosed. The brake assembly (22) may include a rotating element (30), a fixed element (34) mounted in operational association with the rotating element (30) and a positioning device (36) connected to the fixed element (34). The positioning device (36) may additionally magnetically interface with the rotating element (30) to facilitate centering of the fixed element (34) relative to the rotating element (30).
