  • Control for an electromechanical brake actuator
    Patent number: 12759526
    Abstract: A brake system includes a pressure plate, an end plate, a plurality of rotating discs positioned between the pressure plate and the end plate, an electromechanical brake actuator controller, and an electromechanical brake actuator including a ball screw configured to extend to exert force on the pressure plate, the electromechanical brake actuator operatively coupled to the electromechanical brake actuator controller. Responsive to receiving a command from the electromechanical brake actuator controller, the electromechanical brake actuator is configured to retract the ball screw away from the pressure plate to at least a zero-touch point.
    Type: Grant
