An electromotive actuator assembly for an electromechanical vehicle brake is disclosed having a transmission that comprises transmission shafts, cylindrical brake surface provided in the transmission and which encircles an axis of rotation, and a blocking element mounted eccentrically with respect to the axis of rotation. The blocking element is adjustable about a pivot axis by a drive unit and can be placed in contact with the cylindrical brake surface. The blocking element is arranged so as to become wedged together with the cylindrical brake surface with self-locking action in only one direction of rotation of the cylindrical brake surface about the axis of rotation (A). The disclosure also relates to a method for activating and deactivating a parking brake function.

Electromotive actuator assembly for an electromechanical vehicle brake, and method for activating and deactivating a parking brake function

The invention relates to a method for operating a vehicle brake system and to a vehicle brake system, wherein the vehicle brake system comprises at least one hydraulic vehicle brake (), having a brake caliper (), having a brake piston (), having a brake piston seal () which is assigned to the brake caliper () and which acts between the brake caliper () and brake piston (), having brake pads (), and having a brake disk (), in which method a hydraulic brake pressure acting on the brake piston () is built up in a manner dependent on a braking command. The brake pressure is furthermore held in a manner dependent on the braking command. If the braking command is withdrawn, the hydraulic brake pressure acting on the brake piston () is reduced to a hydraulic intermediate pressure, and the hydraulic intermediate pressure is held for a defined second period of time. The hydraulic brake pressure is subsequently reduced.

The invention relates to a restoring device () for restoring a brake pad of a motor vehicle disc brake, and to a motor vehicle disc brake which comprises a restoring device of this type. The restoring device () comprises a wear compensation means () and a tension arrangement () for generating a restoring force, having a bearing region () for support on a brake carrier of the motor vehicle disc brake, and a coupling section (), Furthermore, the restoring device () comprises a coupling device (), by way of which the wear compensation means and the tension arrangement () are coupled to one another or can be coupled to one another in such a way that, in the coupled state of the wear compensation means () and the tension arrangement (), it permits a perpendicular orientation of the wear compensation axis (VA) with respect to the bearing plane (AE) and an orientation of the wear compensation axis (VA) which differs from the perpendicular orientation and is inclined within a pivot angle range (a) towards the bearing plane (AE) in every extent direction of the bearing plane (AE).
