APPARATUS FOR DRUM BRAKE ASSEMBLY

An apparatus for a drum brake assembly having first and second brake shoes includes a motor and a gear train for receiving torque from the motor and having a pinion gear. First and second ball ramp assemblies receive torque from the pinion gear and have ends aligned with the respective first and second brake shoes. The motor is actuatable for lengthening each ball ramp assembly to move the brake shoes and apply braking force to the brake drum.
