A sphere brake system including a bracket (110) secured to a non-rotating component, a brake pad assembly (140) disposed externally to a spherical rotor (90), and an actuator (120) engagable with the brake pad assembly (140) to apply a force against the surface of the spherical rotor (90), where an axial face (114) of the bracket (110) includes an access window (130) located radially between the actuator (120) and the spherical rotor (90) and shaped to enable the brake pad assembly (140) to be inserted and removed, and where the brake pad assembly includes a friction pad (141), a backing plate (142), a spacer (150), and a retaining mechanism (160) that is securable to the bracket (110) or axially engageable against the actuator (120) to prevent axial movement relative to the actuator (120). Also, a corresponding sphere brake system brake pad assembly (140) for use with the sphere brake system.
