Abstract
An actuator for an electric brake of a vehicle having a caliper assembly driven by a motor includes a gear train for transferring torque from the motor to the caliper assembly to brake the vehicle. The gear train has an input gear and a sun gear connected to one another. A load sensing device senses relative rotation between the sun gear and the input gear in response to rotation of the motor during a braking operation. A controller is connected to the load sensing device and configured to adjust the torque applied to the gear train in response to receiving signals from the load sensing device indicative of the relative rotation.
