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

摘要

In an electrically-operated, non-linear friction brake (1), wherein for braking an actuator member of a pressing device (10) by an actuating means (20) between an initial opening angle (a A) and a Endbetätigungswinkel (a E) is rotated to a brake pad (6) for generating a brake torque (TB) against a friction surface, the influence of wear over the changing pad elasticity can not be neglected. The thereby changing force-distance behavior of the friction brake (1) is compensated for by the initial actuation angle (a A) of the actuating member of the friction brake (1) in dependence on a current state of wear of the brake lining (6) is adjusted.
