Abstract
A brake caliper. A motor rotates a ball screw which translates a ball nut and a first drive pin. Translation of the first drive pin rotates a first brake lever attached to an eccentric cam shaft having a cam portion. Rotation of the cam portion on the eccentric cam shaft translates a piston shaft assembly, a piston head attached to the piston shaft assembly, and a first brake pad attached to the piston head. The first brake lever is attachable to, and rotatable by, a manually-actuated parking brake cable. This allows operation of the parking brake to stop the vehicle in an emergency should the motor fail to operate from whatever cause including loss of power.
