An electrically operated brake is described, including a housing with a cylindrical chamber. A rotary member is carried within the cylindrical chamber for rotation about a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical chamber. Circumferentially spaced sockets are disposed in the outer surface of the rotary member for accommodating one end of sprags. Spring means urge the sprags in contact with an inner surface of the housing for locking said rotary member relative to said housing. A control member is adapted to be shifted longitudinally by an electrically operated means for forcing the sprags out of engagement with the housing. A spring forces the control member to return to its braking position when the electrically operated means is de-energized.
