We have already proposed a disk brake for robotic use in which the braking torque is generated both by PZT-actuator and solenoid. The action of the solenoid is transmitted to friction pads through a wedge mechanism. In order to make clear the relation between manufacturing accuracy and application force of the brake, dynamic simulations and experiments have been carried out. And the result of this analysis has been utilized in designing a small and light brake.
