Abstract
An actuating assembly for an electronic parking brake includes a housing and motor secured to the housing and having an output shaft. A cable assembly is rotatably driven by the motor. A cable is anchored at a first end to the cable assembly and wraps around the cable assembly as the cable assembly rotates in a first direction. A first spring is secured to the cable assembly such that it is rotatable with the cable assembly. A drum receives the first spring, which is engageable with an interior surface of the drum to prevent rotation of the cable assembly. A plurality of grooves is formed on a surface of the drum. At least one roller element is positioned in a groove of the drum. A spring housing receives the drum and is secured to the housing. Each of a plurality of apertures in the spring housing receives a roller element.
