ELECTRIC BRAKE DEVICE

A brake controller (2) is provided with a positive efficiency operation limiter (22) configured to provide a time for maintaining or decreasing a torque to be generated by a motor (7), such that a braking force generated by pressing between a brake rotor (4) and friction pads (5) and (6) does not decrease, while a braking force command value outputted from a braking force command section (12) increases. For example, the limiter (22) limits a ratio of a time for increasing the braking force, relative to a sum of the time for increasing the braking force and the time for maintaining or decreasing the braking force, to a predetermined value or less.
