Abstract
Rotary-shaft brake system includes a rotary braking member attached to a rotary shaft, first and second friction members arranged on either side of the rotary braking member, each friction member being moveable between a first braking position when the friction members are in contact with the rotary braking member and a second idle position away from the rotary braking member, a bracket holding the friction members and guiding device and control device controlling movement of the friction members on the bracket. The control device comprises a linear actuator acting on at least a first lever and a solid elastically deformable element.
