Abstract
An electromechanical brake actuator (102, 202, 302, 402) for a brake, in particular a commercial vehicle disc brake, has an electric motor (106, 206) for generating a drive torque, a cam disc (108, 208, 308, 408) operatively connected to the electric motor (106, 206) and mounted in a rotationally movable manner, and a brake plunger (114, 214, 314) which can be moved along a plunger axis for the actuation of a brake lever (358) of the brake (368). The cam disc (108, 208, 308, 408) and the brake plunger (114, 214, 314) have contact faces which are in contact with one another and slide or roll on one another for the direct transmission of the drive torque between the cam disc (108, 208, 308, 408) and the brake plunger (114, 214, 314).
Claims16
An electromechanical brake actuator (102, 202, 302, 402) for a brake, comprising:
- an electric motor (106, 206) for generating a drive torque,
- a cam disc (108, 208, 308, 408) operatively connected to the electric motor (106, 206) and rotatable, and
- a brake plunger (114, 214, 314) which can be moved along a plunger axis for actuating a brake lever (358) of the brake (368),
- wherein each of the cam disc (108, 208, 308, 408) and the brake plunger (114, 214, 314) has a contact face respectively in contact with one another and sliding or rolling on one another for a direct transmission of the drive torque between the cam disc (108, 208, 308, 408) and the brake plunger (114, 214, 314).
