Abstract: An electromechanical brake is capable of quickly releasing braking force and improving braking performance of a vehicle even when a power source breaks down. The electromechanical brake includes a drive unit including: a nut member which is coupled to a piston and moves in an axial direction to allow the piston to move forward and backward; a spindle which is thread-coupled to the nut member and rotates to move the nut member in the axial direction; an electric motor which provides power for rotating the spindle; a friction member which rotates together with the spindle; and an elastic member which stores elastic energy by being deformed when the friction member rotates during the braking operation, and provides elastic restoring force as backward torque to the spindle through the friction member when the braking operation is released.

Abstract: A hybrid electro-mechanical brake (EMB) includes an actuator mounted at one side of a housing and generating a motor clamping force. A primary piston is connected to a spindle, which rotates by a motor clamping force of the actuator, to linearly move when the spindle rotates. A secondary piston linearly moves and is mounted between the housing and the primary piston to form a hydraulic chamber between the second piston and the primary piston. The hybrid EMB system generates a brake force by using the motor clamping force of the actuator and a hydraulic pressure in a hydraulic chamber. The actuator actuates to move the primary piston toward a front end of the secondary piston to increase a pressure in the hydraulic chamber, which is sealed, so that the brake force transferred to the secondary piston increases.

Abstract: A carbon-ceramic disc provided with friction surfaces on both surfaces of a load part at a center of the disc may include a wear indicating device formed on the friction surfaces, wherein a wear indicating recess as the wearing indicating device is formed along a virtual circular line between a contact surface contacting with a pad, and a non-contact surface not contacting with the pad in the carbon-ceramic disc, and wherein the virtual circular line is formed on the friction surface of the carbon-ceramic disc to pass through a center point of a width of the wear indicating recess.

Abstract: A method for controlling a braking force in regenerative brake cooperation control, may include a first step of generating a regenerative braking force for at least one of a front wheel and a rear wheel up to a reference deceleration while braking, and a second step of distributing the braking force of the front wheel and the rear wheel in accordance with a reference braking distribution ratio having a predetermined value in a braking area of the reference deceleration or more.
