An actuator assembly comprising:
- a motor having a motor shaft;
- and
- a motor housing comprising a housing body accommodating at least a part of the motor and a housing cover coupled to the housing body, wherein an idler configured to tension a drive belt rotatably coupled to the motor shaft is fixed to the housing cover having a hole for passing through the motor shaft.
An electromechanical brake system comprising:
- a screw-nut mechanism comprising a rotatable body configured to be rotatable and a translatable body operably coupled with the rotatable body, the translatable body configured to be axially translatable relative to the rotatable body to move a brake pad assembly according to rotation of the rotatable body;
- and
- an actuator assembly configured to rotate the rotatable body of the screw-nut mechanism, the actuator assembly comprising:
- a motor having a motor shaft;
- and
- a motor housing comprising a housing body accommodating at least a part of the motor and a housing cover coupled to the housing body, wherein an idler configured to tension a drive belt rotatably coupled to the motor shaft is fixed to the housing cover having a hole for passing through the motor shaft.
