Electromechanical brake device

Abstract

An electromechanical brake device for a motor vehicle; having an electric motor drive for the provision of a torque is provided. A transmission assembly for converting the torque into an application force acting along the application direction of the brake device is provided. A support device for supporting the transmission assembly counter to the application direction, and a clamping device for converting the force acting along the application direction into a clamping force acting on an element to be decelerated is provided. The support device may have a force-measuring device for measuring a force acting on the support device along the application direction, wherein the support device has a preloading device, wherein, A preloading device of the support device together with the transmission assembly subjects the force-measuring device to a force acting along the application direction—even in the absence of a force generated by the electric motor.
