Abstract
A brake stack is disclosed. The brake stack comprises a first stator, a second stator, and a first rotor disposed between the first stator and the second stator. The brake stack further comprises a first spring disposed between the first stator and the second stator. The first spring is disposed radially inward of the first rotor. The first spring is disposed axially between the first stator and the second stator. The first spring is configured to partially compress when a force applied to a pressure plate of the brake stack is less than a threshold force.
