Abstract
A skewed-roller brake assembly is provided, including a first rotor disc and a second rotor disc . A stator disc , positioned between the first and second rotor discs , includes a plurality of skewed-roller slots formed through the stator disc . A pair of roller elements are positioned within each of the plurality of skewed-roller slots such that a first of the pair of roller elements protrudes from the stator disc in the direction of the first rotor disc and a second of said pair of roller elements protrudes from the stator disc in the direction of the second rotor disc . When the first and second rotor discs are moved towards the stator disc , the first of the pair of roller elements and the second of the pair of roller elements rotate in concert while transmitting frictional torque to the first rotor disc and the second rotor disc respectively.
