Abstract: A brake (10) for a wheel of a vehicle is slidably mounted to a vehicle frame by mounting sleeves (22). The brake (10) includes a stationary actuator (20) which has a plurality of depressions (38) adapted to receive a plurality of balls (40). The stationary actuator (20) further has a pin hole (34) which receives a pin (36) which correspondingly defines a pivot axis (50). Adjacent to the stationary actuator (20) is a rotating actuator (66) which rotates about an axis (50) and includes a plurality of depressions (78) which are axially aligned with the depressions (38) while in an unactuated state. The brake (10) is actuated by rotation of the rotating actuator (66) which correspondingly moves the balls (40) to progressively more shallow portions of the depressions (38, 78) which acts upon a washer (82) and one or more shims (86) to force a first stator (16) and a second stator (18) together and into contact with a rotor (12).
