Abstract
An assembly for an electromechanical brake of a vehicle having a caliper assembly driven by a motor includes a cup gear or a drive disk for receiving torque from the motor and transferring the torque to a spindle. A piston is coupled to the spindle or a ball ramp and moves axially relative to the spindle in response to rotation of the spindle to brake the vehicle during a braking operation. A force sensor is aligned with the spindle and cup gear for sensing a reaction force applied to the piston during the braking operation. A thrust bearing is provided for transferring the reaction force from the cup gear to the force sensor.
