Elevator systems are described that include a traveling component movable along a guide rail and an overspeed safety system. The safety system includes a safety brake connected to an electromechanical actuator. A safety brake element of the safety brake is operable to engage with the guide rail to stop the traveling component. The electromechanical actuator includes a frame, a first magnetic element operably connected to the safety brake, a second magnetic element movably attached to the frame, and a third magnetic element fixedly attached to the frame. The second magnetic element is movable to urge the first magnetic element from a first position toward a second position. In the second position, the first magnetic element is located proximate the third magnetic element. As the first magnetic element transitions from the first position to the second position, the safety brake element is actuated into engagement with the guide rail.
