Abstract
A brake assembly has a brake disc in rotational engagement with a wheel of a vehicle, a brake pad which frictionally engages the brake disc when an actuator force is applied thereto, an actuator having an output shaft driven in a forward direction and a reverse direction in order to bring the brake pad and brake disc into the frictional engagement, and an energy absorption and/or storage unit. The energy absorption and/or storage unit absorbs forces acting on the output shaft in the reverse direction in case of a predetermined operation situation.
