Abstract: An electric braking device includes an actuator that, in a case in which an electric motor rotates in a second rotational direction due to a piston moving in a second direction which is the direction in which braking force decreases due to an external force, is driven to inhibit the piston from moving in the second direction by using electric power generated by the electric motor as the electric motor rotates in the second rotational direction.

Abstract: In a vehicle to which a braking control device is applied, the ratio of the rear wheel frictional braking force to the front wheel frictional braking force becomes a prescribed value in a state where the front and rear wheel pressures are equal. An actuator generates front wheel frictional braking force by adjusting front wheel pressure and generates rear wheel frictional braking force by adjusting rear wheel pressure, and a controller that controls the actuator. When the regeneration device can generate the regenerative braking force, the controller individually adjusts the front and rear wheel pressures based on a regenerative braking force so that the ratio of the total rear wheel braking force to the total front wheel braking force becomes a prescribed value. However, when the regeneration device cannot generate the regenerative braking force, the controller adjusts the front wheel pressure and the rear wheel pressure to be equal.
