An electro-mechanical brake assembly comprising a brake disk stack having a center axis; and a plurality electro-mechanical actuators for applying braking pressure to the brake disk stack. The actuators are circumferentially arranged around the center axis, and each actuator includes a housing, a linearly movable ram, a screw for linearly moving the ram, a nut mounted for rotation in the housing and operatively engaged with the screw such that rotation of the nut effects linear movement of the screw for urging the ram into forceful engagement with the brake disk stack, an electric motor for rotating the nut, and an anti-rotation device for preventing rotation of the screw relative to the housing when the nut is rotated to effect linear movement of the screw. The foregoing arrangement provides for greater stroke than prior art actuators without sacrificing durability and performance.

The electro-mechanical brake assembly as set forth in claim 1, comprising a position sensor which supplies a position signal representative of the position of the ram. 8. The electro-mechanical brake assembly as set forth in claim 7, wherein the position sensor is fully enclosed within the housing. 9. The electro-mechanical brake assembly as set forth in claim 7, wherein the screw has a bore opening to an end thereof opposite the ram, and the position sensor is disposed within the interior of the screw. 10. The electro-mechanical brake assembly as set forth in claim 7, wherein the position sensor is connected to the nut. 11. The electro-mechanical brake assembly as set forth in claim 1, wherein the nut and screw are a ball-screw device. 12. The electro-mechanical brake assembly as set forth in claim 1, wherein the electric motor is mounted to and carried by the housing. 13. The electro-mechanical brake assembly as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a wheel mount to which the brake disk stack is mounted, and each actuator is a self-contained unit mounted to the wheel mount for removal independently of one another and the brake disk stack. 14. The electro-mechanical brake assembly as set forth in claim 1, wherein the ram is formed by an outboard end of the screw.
