Abstract
A method adjusts the slack of a brake assembly having a brake disc, a brake pad, an actuator with an output shaft driven in a forward direction to bring the brake pad and brake disc into frictional engagement defining a braking position and a reverse direction to disengage the brake pad and brake disc and to move the brake pad into a rest position, and a slack adjuster for adjusting a predetermined axial slack distance between the brake pad and the brake disc. The brake pad is moved from the rest position in the reverse direction into a predetermined reference position, and an adjustment of the axial slack distance between the brake pad and brake disc is initiated.
