An example assembly comprises: a brake shaft comprising gear teeth formed on a circumferential portion of the brake shaft, wherein the brake shaft is substantially constrained from moving in a longitudinal direction along a longitudinal axis of the brake shaft; and a brake gear that is rotatably coupled to a drive shaft of a motor, wherein the brake shaft is rotatable about the longitudinal axis between (i) a first position at which the gear teeth of the brake shaft are disengaged from the brake gear, thereby allowing the brake gear and the drive shaft to rotate, and (ii) a second position at which the gear teeth of the brake shaft engage the brake gear, thereby precluding the brake gear and the drive shaft from rotating due to the brake shaft being constrained from moving in the longitudinal direction.
