Abstract
A brake assembly includes a heat sink, a piston, and a retraction plate. The retraction plate defines a lumen. The piston is mechanically separated from the retraction plate and configured to extend through the lumen defined by the retraction plate to contact the heat sink during a braking operation. The piston is configured to contact the heat sink prior to the retraction plate contacting the heat sink during the braking operation.
