Disclosed is an electromechanical brake and a method of operating the same. In accordance with an aspect of the disclosure a electromechanical brake includes a piston configured to advance and retreat to press a brake pad; a power transmission unit configured to receive a driving force from an actuator to convert a rotational motion into a linear motion, and provide the converted driving force to the piston; and a position adjustment unit configured to adjust a relative position of the piston with respect to the power transmission unit; wherein the power transmission unit includes a spindle rotating by receiving the driving force from the actuator, and a nut connected to the spindle and moving forward or backward an inside of the piston by rotation of the spindle in a first direction or a second direction to advance and retreat the piston, wherein the position adjustment unit includes a first screw thread formed on an outer circumferential surface of the nut, a second screw thread formed on an inner circumferential surface of the piston and meshing with the first screw thread, and an adjuster provided between the spindle and the nut and configured to rotate the nut in the first direction or the second direction by rotation of the spindle to advance and retreat the relative position of the piston.

Electromechanical brake and method of operating the same

Provided is an electromechanical brake system comprising an actuator of an electromechanical brake operated by a motor, the electromechanical brake system including: a motor driving unit configured to drive the motor; and a control unit configured to be electrically connected to the motor driving unit, wherein the control unit is configured to: calculate a first rotation angle of a spindle in a brake apply mode of the electromechanical brake, calculate a second rotation angle of the spindle in a braking release mode of the electromechanical brake, and when a difference between the calculated first rotation angle and the calculated second rotation angle exists, control a notification device to notify a wear state of a brake pad.

Electromechanical brake system and control method thereof

Disclosed are a parking actuator and an electromechanical brake including the same. The parking actuator, which is connected to a brake actuator that performs braking of a vehicle, includes a parking gear connected to the brake actuator to be rotatable together, a parking lever having one side hingedly fixed and the other side engaged with the parking gear, a parking motor provided to generate power, a power conversion unit including a spindle member rotating by receiving a rotational driving force of the parking motor and a nut member screwed to the spindle member to move forward or backward, and a pressing unit installed on the nut member to press the parking lever by the nut member moved forward or backward.

Parking actuator and electromechanical brake including the same

Disclosed herein a electromechanical brake includes a power converter including a nut provided in a cylinder portion of a caliper housing slidably coupled to a carrier and configured to rotate by receiving a driving force from an actuator, and a spindle connected to the nut and configured to move forward or backward by rotation of the nut in a first direction or a second direction; a pressing member coupled to a front side of the spindle and configured to press a pad plate; and a position adjuster screwed into the cylinder portion so that the power converter is mounted and configured to adjust a relative position of the caliper housing in response to an operation of the power converter.
