Abstract
A method to limit overheating of a brake equipped with an electromechanically actuable parking brake including the steps of: driving a threaded spindle by an electric motor until a power drain (I), corresponding to a brake application force (F), is reached; detection of a travel distance (x) of the piston corresponding to the brake application force (F) of the brake caliper in a locked state; determination of a second travel distance (x) by adding a further travel distance value (x), which corresponds to the desired clearance value, to form (x); driving of the electric motor until the second travel distance (x) has been covered by the brake piston; and comparing the vehicle speed with a predefined first speed value, at the upward transgression of which the electric motor is driven once more in the release direction until a further, previously defined travel distance (x) has been covered.
