Abstract
Disclosed are a method and a control system for applying defined clamping forces in a brake that is electrically operable by means of an actuator and includes a first friction surface (friction lining) and a second friction surface (brake disc). In the method, a correlation exists between the actuator position and the clamping force, and values of the clamping force as well as of the actuator position are determined by a clamping force sensor and a position sensor, and a value of the actuator position is determined, which corresponds to the application of the first friction surface on the second friction surface.
