Abstract: An electromechanically actuated drum brake for a motor vehicle/The drum brake includes: brake shoes that are mounted on the front side of a rear part of the drum brake; an adjustment device arranged between the brake shoes, wherein the adjustment device is arranged in a housing, and spreads the brake shoes for braking by means of a rotational movement of a rotational axis that is supported by a bearing. The housing of the adjustment device is connected to the rear part of the drum brake and the bearing of the adjustment device is arranged in the housing.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electromechanical brake). The electromechanical brake includes an electric motor which acts on a brake actuator via a gear unit to generate a braking force. A switchable and bistable freewheel locking device, via which a brake release direction of the brake actuator can be locked, is provided to lock the gear unit. The method includes moving back the brake actuator after a braking operation by a fixed predefined distance and controlling the locking device to fix the brake actuator in the retracted position.

Abstract: A device for varying a pedal resistance of a hydraulic brake system includes at least one electroactive polymer actuator. The device further includes a reaction disc. The reaction disc has at least two polymer actuators. The at least two polymer actuators are independently controllable. Additionally, the at least two polymer actuators are arranged coaxially relative to one another.
