Abstract
In some examples, a brake assembly includes an actuator assembly configured to cause the translation of a piston to compress a disc stack. The actuator assembly is configured to generate a first torque around a motor axis using a motor and generate a second torque from the first torque using a harmonic drive. The actuator assembly may include a gear set configured to cause a linear actuator to translate the piston using the second torque. In some examples, the actuator is configured to translate the piston along a compression axis different from the motor axis.
