METHOD, REGULATING AND CONTROL APPLIANCE, AND PARKING BRAKE COMPRISING SUCH A REGULATING AND CONTROL APPLIANCE, FOR ADJUSTING A CLAMPING FORCE EXERTED BY A PARKING BRAKE

In a method for adjusting the clamping force exerted by a parking brake, which force is applied by an electric-motor braking apparatus that encompasses an electric braking motor and power-supply and control units, and as necessary by an additional braking apparatus, an equivalent resistance is ascertained from a measurement of current and voltage and is used as the basis for calculating the maximum generatable clamping force.
