Abstract
A brake device for an elevator system and a testing method thereof. The brake device includes: a fixed member; a moving member movable between a retracted position and a braking position so as to realize switching of the moving member between an attracting state and a braking state, respectively; an elastic member to provide elastic force tending to push the moving member toward the braking position; a coil configured to produce an electromagnetic force tending to drive the moving member to move toward the retracted position when energized; and a controller configured to control a change of a magnitude of the electromagnetic force produced by the coil in a process of testing the spring force of the elastic member, and to acquire corresponding information of the electrical signal for controlling the magnitude of the electromagnetic force when the moving member switches from the attracting state to the braking state.
