Abstract
A braking device may include a brake casing rotatably assembled with respect to a shaft along an axis of rotation, first braking elements and second braking elements, forming a stack, an elastic return element configured to exert an application force on the first and second braking elements, and a brake release actuator, adapted to bias the elastic return element along a direction opposing the application direction. The braking device a may include a diffusion wedge and a pressure wedge positioned respectively to bear against the stack and against the elastic return element. The diffusion wedge and the pressure wedge may have contact surfaces defining an annular linear contact about the axis of rotation.
