Device for adjusting the clamping force of an electromechanical brake

The clamping strategy of an electromechanical brake depends on an already existing hydraulic pressure, in order to adjust the mechanical component of the clamping force and avoid an excessive clamping of the brake. The hydraulic component (F) of the clamping force is estimated according to a pressure measurement, subtracted from a target force (F) to obtain the mechanical component to be applied (F), and the electric motor for controlling clamping of the brake is stopped at a threshold value (I) of the current that is supplied thereto, according to the value of this mechanical component to be applied.
