Abstract
The brake assembly includes a housing, a rotor disc. The rotor disc includes at least one internal cavity. The at least one internal cavity includes a pawl and a thermal fuse. In use, the thermal fuse is configured to maintain the position of the pawl in the at least one internal cavity when a temperature is below a predetermined threshold, and wherein the thermal fuse is configured to melt when a predetermined threshold of temperature is reached during braking to release the pawl out of the at least one internal cavity towards the housing. The housing includes at least one recess configured to receive the pawl.
