摘要
A brake system for use on a mobile platform such as a commercial aircraft. The brake system includes an electromechanical actuator (EMA) subsystem and a piezoelectric actuator subsystem. The EMA subsystem is used to urge a brake piston into contact with a pressure plate, and the pressure plate into contact with a brake rotor. The piezoelectric actuator subsystem is then used as a high frequency means to more effectively modulate the pressure plate into contact with the brake rotor to effect a braking action on the brake rotor. The invention allows smaller, less complex DC motors to be employed, that in turn results in significantly smaller wire bundles being needed on each wheel assembly of an aircraft where the invention is employed. The invention even more effectively modulates the pressure plate to better apply anti-skid braking signals to the brake rotor.
