Publication number: 20060032713Abstract: An electric device for operating vehicle brakes using a pulling element and an operating motor with a rotatable driving axis. The device includes a centrifugal assembly with rotatable parts which are radially outwardly movable due to centrifugal forces. The centrifugal assembly also comprises at least one translational element, which is disposed so that it is capable of axial movement that is related to the rotational speed of the driving axis. The axial movement of the translational element translates to movement of the pulling element.
