Abstract
An add-on brake system includes a housing accommodating a linear actuator including: an electric motor having a rotor and a stator; a nut arrangement coupled to the rotor; a linear threaded plunger associated having a first end linearly protruding from one end of the arrangement and a second end linearly protruding from an opposite end thereof; an inboard brake pad coupled to the housing; and an outboard brake pad associated with the second end, oriented transverse to the plunger. The plunger has an initial unclamped position in which the second end protrudes to an extent nfrom the other end of the arrangement, yielding a spacing Sbetween the inboard and outboard brake pads, and a final clamped position in which the second end protrudes to an extent n>nfrom the other end of the arrangement, yielding a spacing S<Sbetween the pads.
