Abstract
A brake and wheel assembly wherein the available piston stroke for a given envelope can be significantly increased to provide greater brake life between overhauls. The wheel and brake assembly is characterized by a fluid actuated back leg structure which allows a disk pack to be compressed and adjusted not only from its brake head side as is conventional but also from its wheel side. As the brake wears, the back leg structure draws the wheel side of the disk pack toward the brake head while the brake actuator piston or pistons push the disk pack in the wheel direction.
