Abstract
An electric brake device has at least three control units: a first diagonal wheel control unit that controls a front-left wheel brake mechanism and a rear-right wheel brake mechanism which are positioned diagonally; a second diagonal wheel control unit that controls a front-right wheel brake mechanism and a rear-left wheel brake mechanism which are positioned diagonally; and a front wheel control unit that controls a front-left wheel brake mechanism and a front-right wheel brake mechanism. Each of the brake mechanisms has a friction-receiving member that rotates together with the wheel; and a friction-applying member that moves while being powered by an electric actuator, and obtains the braking force by pressing the friction-applying member against the friction-receiving member.
