One aspect is an actuator system having a rotatable drive shaft and a parallel axis friction brake engaged with the drive shaft and configured to provide a drag force on the rotatable drive shaft. The parallel axis friction brake further includes a brake housing and a friction assembly that has at least one parallel axis shaft and at least one clip pressed over the at least one parallel shaft in an interference fit. The friction assembly is engaged with the drive shaft and coupled to the brake housing, at least a portion of the friction assembly rotating with the rotatable drive shaft to create the drag force.
