Abstract
The present application provides a brake apparatus for a rotating component, a robot joint and a robot including the same. The brake apparatus includes: a locking component including a locking end provided with a first magnet; and a brake component including a mounting portion connected to the rotating component and a plurality of brake ends provided on the mounting portion along a circumferential direction of the mounting portion. Each of the plurality of brake ends is provided with a second magnet. A side of the first magnet facing the brake component is configured to have same polarity as sides of the second magnets facing the locking component. A distance from the first magnet to a rotary axis of the rotating component is substantially the same as distances from the second magnets to the rotary axis of the rotating component.
