Abstract
The present disclosure provides devices and methods related to park brake systems and methods. In various embodiments, a park brake system may comprise a motor shaft having a first diameter portion and a second diameter portion, the second diameter portion having a greater diameter than the first diameter portion. A park brake system may further comprise a spring disposed at least partially around a circumference of the motor shaft, a wire coil disposed at least partially around a circumference of a bobbin, a one-way clutch disposed at least partially within the bobbin and coaxial to the motor shaft, an annular magnet disposed coaxial to the motor shaft and distal to at least a portion of the bobbin, and a clutch release mechanism disposed coaxial to the motor shaft and around the first diameter portion. In response to a first voltage being applied to the wire coil, the one-way clutch may translate axially in a first direction relative to the motor shaft and engage with the second diameter portion; in response to a second voltage applied to the wire coil, the one-way clutch may translate axially in a second direction relative to the motor shaft and engage with the clutch release mechanism.
