A sealed external synchronizer routes around the brake lever housing to simplify monoblock caliper assembly and reduce weight.

Moving the traction drive outside the lever dome enables a one-piece brake caliper that cuts seals, screws, weight, and assembly effort.

A rolling spreading element on brake actuation surfaces cuts sliding wear and actuation resistance while keeping the brake compact.

A harmonic drive converts motor torque into piston motion to compress a disc stack with lower backlash, faster brake response, and compact packaging.

Axial hub movement and segmented brake pads improve friction control and wear compensation for more consistent reel tension.

A nested multi-ball-screw brake converts motor rotation into fast, precise pad travel, cutting apply and release time while improving pressure uniformity.

Low-friction brake surfaces paired with higher pressing force keep robot braking torque stable despite oil and grease contamination.

A separate brake unit holds the foldable wing tip in its folded position, reducing actuator complexity and preventing unintended movement.

A rotary converter drives brake elements with less installation space, helping vehicle brake assemblies fit alongside E-axles.

A harmonic drive and offset compression axis make the brake actuator more compact while reducing backlash and improving braking response.

A clutch-based auxiliary brake locks the rotor gear when a hoist drum free spins, adding overload protection beyond the main brake.

An adjustable nut holder expands contact spacing to fit different brake piston sizes, enabling one nut unit across caliper specifications.

Adjustable cavity blockers immobilize cart wheels on the floor, avoiding brake wear and keeping carts stationary during loading and unloading.

Magnetic self-adjustment re-centers the floating bracket to balance brake disc gaps, reducing axial force, one-sided wear, and response delay.

Guide members and a gravity-assisted release fixture align and stack clutch plates coaxially for faster clutch housing installation.

A lever-link brake keeps the pad parallel to the disc while multiplying force mechanically, improving braking reliability without hydraulics.

A hydraulic chamber between the transmission element and brake shoe simplifies force transfer and makes brake air gap adjustment easier.

A one-way jaw clutch varies brake stack force with roller rotation to prevent ULD skidding, reduce tire wear, and simplify assembly.

Alternating C/C and CMC brake disks raise static friction and reduce dynamic friction variation for more consistent aircraft braking.

Non-helical rollers and a cage convert spindle rotation into stable brake pad motion while preventing piston back-driving in electromechanical brakes.

A clutch-compressed pinion brake locks a free-spinning hoist cable drum, adding backup braking to reduce load and aircraft risk.

Gravity-biased fingers and guide members align, stack, and release clutch pack components faster with less manual handling and maintenance.

Multiple caliper clamping zones let one actuator distribute braking force more evenly, reducing aircraft brake vibration and wear.

Multiple brake units with monitored brake plates share torque, limiting single-unit failure impact and stabilizing elevator braking.
