Abstract
A braking system is disclosed that includes a brake (), a ram () shiftable in a linear direction relative to the brake () for actuating the brake (), and a stop () for limiting movement of the ram (). The system further includes a motor () for moving the ram () which motor () includes a stator and a rotor () and a commutation sensor () producing an output. A motor controller () receives a commutation signal based on the output and controls the motor () based on the commutation signal. A processor () also uses the commutation signal to generate a position signal indicative of the position of the ram () relative to the stop (). Methods of using this system are also disclosed.
