An electromechanical brake actuator () for a brake has a cam disc () and a brake plunger () for actuating a brake lever (). The cam disc () and the brake plunger () have contact surfaces in contact with one another for directly transmitting a drive torque. The contact surface of the cam disc () extends at a distance r about the pivot point D, which is defined as a function r(φ) with a change rate r'(φ) and depends on the angular position φ of the cam disc (). The contact surface is configured to effect non-linear transmission between the drive torque of the cam disc () and the force transmitted to the brake plunger ().

A method for controlling, via a trailer vehicle configured to be coupled to a towing vehicle with an electric drive, the electric drive of the towing vehicle includes receiving, via a trailer brake control unit of the trailer vehicle, a current accelerator pedal position from the towing vehicle. The method further includes generating a control signal for the electric drive with the trailer brake control unit depending on the received current accelerator pedal position and controlling the electric drive with the generated control signal.
