BRAKE SYSTEM AND BRAKING METHOD FOR AN ELECTRICALLY ACTUATED NONLINEAR FRICTION BRAKE

摘要

In an electrically actuated friction brake (1) with non-linear force-travel characteristic, in which, in order to brake, an actuating part of a pressing device (10) is rotated by means of an actuating device (20) between an initial actuating angle (αA) and a final actuating angle (αE) in order to press a brake lining (6) against a friction surface to produce a braking torque (TB), the effect of the brake lining elasticity, which varies with wear, cannot be ignored. The force-travel characteristic of the friction brake (1) which changes as a result is compensated for in that the initial actuating angle (αA) of the actuating part of the friction brake (1) is adjusted as a function of the current state of wear of the brake lining (6).
