A caliper brake () includes a housing () formed of a first housing portion () and a second housing portion (). Each of the first housing portion and second housing portion include a channel () extending therethrough. The channels () include pins () for receiving one or more shims () thereon. Brake () includes a first stator assembly () and a second stator assembly () that are separated by a first distance when no shims () are on the pins (). The first stator assembly () and the second stator assembly () are separated by a second distance less than the first distance when one or more shims () are on the pins ().
