Electric park brake with electromagnetic brake

A brake assembly comprising:

• a. a caliper including:
• i. one or more pistons,
• b. one or more rotary to linear actuators that provides an axial force to move the one or more pistons,
• c. a motor gear unit in communication with the one or more rotary to linear actuators, the motor gear unit including:
• i. a motor, and
• ii. an electromagnetic brake that prevents movement of the motor gear unit, the one or more pistons, or both when the motor is turned off so that a brake apply is maintained, the electromagnetic brake including:
• 1. a core having a wall thickness and one or more flanges, wherein the one or more flanges have a radial width that is about four times to about ten times the wall thickness.

A method comprising:

• a. creating an electromagnetic brake for a motor by:
• i. forming a core that includes a plurality of legs;
• ii. placing one or more electrical coils into the core;
• iii. placing a moving plate proximate to an electromagnet;
• and
• iv. placing a rotor adjacent to the moving plate;
• b. deforming each of the plurality of legs during an assembly process.
