Abstract
A brake assembly includes a mounting plate, pressure members disposed in a substantially coplanar manner relative to the mounting plate, and electric actuators mounted to the mounting plate. The electric actuators are configured to selectively move the pressure members relative to the mounting plate (i) from a non-braking position to a braking position in response to a first command, and (ii) from the braking position to the non-braking position in response to a second command. Such a brake assembly is well-suited for a variety of applications including vehicle brakes such as aircraft brakes.
