Abstract
A brake apparatus for a vehicle may include: a housing; a pair of pressing parts installed inside the housing, and configured to receive power from a driver and press a brake pad; a load transfer part installed between the pair of pressing parts, and configured to transfer a pressing load of any one of the pair of pressing parts to the other pressing part; and a constraint part installed in the housing such that a length thereof is adjustable, and configured to selectively constrain an operation of the load transfer part depending on a protruding length thereof into the housing.

A brake apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
- a housing;
- a pair of pressing parts positioned within the housing and configured to receive power from a driver and press a brake pad;
- a load transfer part positioned within the housing, coupled between the pair of pressing parts and configured to transfer a pressing load of any one of the pair of pressing parts to the other;
- and
- a constraint part coupled to the housing and configured to protrude from the housing toward the load transfer part,
- wherein a protruding length of the constraint part is adjustable, and an operation of the load transfer part is selectively constrained depending on the protruding length of the constraint part toward the load transfer part,
- wherein each of the pressing parts comprises:
- a sun gear part configured to rotate in response to the power received from the driver;
- a planetary gear part configured to rotate when engaged with the sun gear part;
- a carrier part coupled to the planetary gear part;
- and
- a piston part coupled to the carrier part and configured to move toward and press the brake pad in response to a rotational force from the planetary gear part.
