A module including a module housing enclosing an electric motor, an output element mounted externally of the module housing, the output element being operably coupled to the electric motor and the module housing including an electrical interface for electrically coupling the motor to one or more components mounted externally of the module housing.

Module

A brake system and a method of controlling a brake system. The method may include indirectly estimating an air gap between a brake friction member and a brake pad assembly based on a position signal from a position sensor that detects cycling of the friction brake and a further signal indicative of an amount of brake force used to engage the brake pad assembly with the brake friction member. The air gap may be adjusted when an estimated air gap differs from a desired air gap.

Brake system and method of control with air gap estimation

A brake system and method of adjusting a brake. The method may include the steps of providing a mechanically operated brake including friction material, providing a rotor, providing an adjuster for adjusting a running clearance between the friction material and the rotor, providing a sensor system for determining a likelihood of a braking event, and upon a determination of a change in the likelihood of a braking event operating the adjuster to adjust the running clearance of the brake.

Brake system and method of adjusting a brake

A method of operating a mechanically operated brake having an electric motor for operating an adjuster mechanism that may include the steps of:

Method of operating a brake

A method of replacement of replaceable components of a vehicle braking system are described, along with methods of controlling such replacement by preventing the or permitting removal of replaceable components of a braking system, in response to comparison of codes associated with current and replacement parts of the braking system. A related braking system and controller are also disclosed. The methods and related products can be used for ensuring the replacement of braking components with correctly specified replacement parts.
