Abstract:
The invention relates to an actuator system, in particular an electromechanical parking brake system, comprising an actuator, wherein the actuator is driven by a direct current motor that can be driven in both directions of rotation, wherein a control unit for controlling the movement of the direct current motor in an open-loop or closed-loop manner is provided. The core of the invention is that one or more pieces of information are supplied to a control unit, said information allowing the application force exerted by the electromotive actuator to be determined and compared to a predetermined minimum application force, and wherein the control unit emits at least one piece of information, signal or the like for requesting an auxiliary actuation to peripheral systems, components and/or electronic control units after the target to actual value comparison has shown that the determined, set application force is smaller than the predetermined minimum application force.
Abstract:
An electric-motor-operated parking brake system carries out metered actuation without a force and travel sensor. A control unit initiates a primary tensioning process with observation of the current, and wherein secondary or tertiary tensioning processes with increased brake application force are executed exclusively automatically by the control unit if monitoring of the stationary state during an energization interval detects an undesired vehicle movement.
Abstract:
A method for activating a parking brake function of a drum brake of a brake system of a vehicle, wherein a parking situation is taken into account in order to reduce the holding force to be exerted.
