Abstract
An electric brake for an electric drive includes a brake coil housing joined to an electric motor end cap to form a brake compartment containing a first and second stator with a rotor assembly disposed between the two stators. The rotor assembly comprises isolators for vibration damping and alignment of brake pucks constrained by and rotating along with a rotor engaged to an output shaft of the electric motor. An adjustable plug, a spacer and a spring are disposed in the brake coil housing. The spring is compressed by the adjustable plug to apply a biasing force against the second stator to press the stator against the brake pucks of the rotor assembly, and an electric brake coil is positioned adjacent to the second stator to electromagnetically pull the second stator away from the pair of brake pucks when energized.
