Abstract

An electric brake actuating assembly (10), including a rotatable actuator (11) and electric drive means for driving the rotatable actuator (11) to rotate, a pair of load transfer members (16, 17) disposed respectively on opposite sides of the rotatable actuator (11) and each load transfer member (16, 17) including three connections A, A1, B, B1, C, C1. Link arrangement (14) connects respective first connections A, A1 of load transfer members (16, 17) an actuating cable arrangement (15) connects respective second connections B, B1 of load transfer members (16, 17) and extends in connection in with rotatable actuator (11), and a brake assembly connection (18, 19) extends from respective third connections C, C1 of load transfer members (16, 17) for connection to respective brake assemblies. The arrangement being such that upon rotation of rotatable actuator (11) in a brake actuation direction, a pull load is applied through actuating cable arrangement (15) to second connections C, C1 of load transfer members (16, 17) to cause those members to rotate about first connections A, A1 and to cause a shift in the position of third connections B, B1 for application of an actuating load on brake assembly connections (18, 19) for actuation of the brake assemblies.
