Abstract
An electromechanical brake is capable of quickly releasing braking force and improving braking performance of a vehicle even when a power source breaks down. The electromechanical brake includes a drive unit including: a nut member which is coupled to a piston and moves in an axial direction to allow the piston to move forward and backward; a spindle which is thread-coupled to the nut member and rotates to move the nut member in the axial direction; an electric motor which provides power for rotating the spindle; a friction member which rotates together with the spindle; and an elastic member which stores elastic energy by being deformed when the friction member rotates during the braking operation, and provides elastic restoring force as backward torque to the spindle through the friction member when the braking operation is released.
