Abstract: A harmonic drive linear actuator includes a first annular member defining a longitudinal axis and lying on a plane, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The first member is relatively flexible along a direction parallel to the plane. A second member is substantially coaxially aligned with the first member to define opposed substantially cylindrical surfaces and are fixed for non-relative rotation about the longitudinal axis. An actuator is provided for flexing the first annular member into at least two spaced-apart points of contact between the opposed surfaces and for sequentially flexing the first member to rotate the at least two points of contact circumferentially about the axis. The first and second surfaces define cooperating thread-forms thereon, which selectively engage to effect controlled, bidirectional relative axial displacement between the members in response to sequential flexure of the first member. The linear actuator can be conjoined with an actuator piston of a vehicle brake caliper assembly.

Abstract: An electric caliper assembly for a brake system is provided. The electric caliper assembly includes a housing defining a bore with a bridge extending therefrom, a first and a second friction element and a brake rotor disposed under the bridge, a piston having a flat outer surface for engaging the first friction element, an electric motor connected to a ballscrew mechanism for applying an axial load to the piston, a cap connected to the ball screw mechanism, and a universal connection between a spherical surface of the piston and a complimentary spherical surface of the cap for allowing a swiveling movement of the piston relative to the assembly. This swiveling movement allows the piston to engage the first friction element perpendicularly so that the load may be transmitted from the piston to the first friction element over the entire surface of the piston, maximizing the efficiency of the assembly.
