An electromagnetic clutch of a brushless control-by-wire centrifugal ball arm engagement device includes a brushless electromagnet, a thrust pressing disc, a driven inner-spline hub, a control-by-wire drive disc, a centrifugal ball arm hollow disc, centrifugal ball arm pins, centrifugal ball arms, centrifugal balls, a magnetic conductive force transmitting disk, a drive shaft; once the brushless electromagnet is energized, the centrifugal ball arms and the centrifugal balls each make a circular motion around the centrifugal ball arm pin outwardly along the smooth surface of the thrust pressing disc by the action of centrifugal force produced by them when rotating with high speed. The component of the centrifugal force in the direction of the central axis of the centrifugal ball arm hollow disc drives the thrust pressing disc to compress the outer-spline-groove steel sheets and the inner-spline-groove friction discs with each other, which makes the clutch engaged.
