  • Patent number: 9434368
    Abstract: When a controller (19) is restarted after system control has ended, a brake apparatus drives an electric motor (43) so as to achieve a corrected target thrust force calculated by setting a greater thrust force than a target thrust force set according to a temperature estimated value of a frictional member at this time, based on the temperature estimated value of the frictional member at the time of the end of the control, or drives the electric motor based on the temperature estimated value of the frictional member at the time of the end of the control.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 13, 2014
