Abstract
An electromechanical brake (EMB) system is provided. The EMB system includes: a brake rotor configured to be rotatable with a wheel of a vehicle; a brake pad assembly configured to be engageable with the brake rotor; an actuator assembly having an electric motor configured to mechanically move the brake pad assembly toward or away from the brake rotor; and an inductive position sensor configured to sense a position of the electric motor. The inductive position sensor being a one pole pair inductive position sensor that includes: a metallic target having a main lobe and a balancing lobe; and a sensor portion configured to determine a position of the metallic target.
