  • Patent number: 11498540
    Abstract: A brake actuator comprising a DC motor, a computer configured for: measuring, over time, a current drawn by the motor and a voltage between the terminals of the motor; implementing a Kalman filter in order to compute, from the measured current and voltage, a filtered current drawn by the motor and a filtered rotational speed of a shaft of the motor; computing, from the value of the filtered current and the value of the filtered rotational speed, a clamping force that is produced by the actuator; controlling the motor such that it stops when the computed value of the clamping force reaches a predetermined setpoint value.

  • Publication number: 20220299105
    Abstract: An epicyclic step-down gear for an electric parking brake, this step-down gear comprising a drive shaft, at least one step-down stage and a cylinder which forms a screw/nut system with an outer planet gear of this step-down gear. This step-down gear comprises at least one axial force transmission component which is positioned between a bearing ring of the drive shaft and the cylinder so as to transmit axial forces applied via either the bearing ring or the cylinder to either this bearing ring or this cylinder. Such an axial force transmission component prevents the drive shaft from buckling by defining an axial force transmission path which is radially eccentric.
