Abstract
An electric caliper comprises a motor having a shaft, and a gear rotatable with the shaft and having at least one tooth projecting therefrom. A plunger is disposed on the shaft, and has at least one socket engagable with a corresponding tooth on the gear. A magnet disposed proximate the plunger is adapted to draw the plunger in a first axial direction, and a solenoid yoke disposed proximate the plunger is adapted to selectively draw the plunger in a second axial direction.
