Abstract
A method for adjusting the clamping force exerted by an electromechanical brake of a motor vehicle, the brake including an electric motor provided with a rotating shaft which is intended to drive a mechanical brake-application mechanism, the electric motor being controlled by a PWM-type voltage controller, in which the rotational speed of the motor is estimated from an estimate of the motor resistance and an estimate of the motor constant, and then the clamping force is determined from the estimate of the rotational speed of the motor, wherein the estimate of the motor resistance is updated during an inactive phase with no voltage control.
