Abstract:
1. An electromechanical friction brake, comprising: an electromechanical actuating device; a friction brake lining configured to be pressed by the actuating device against a brake body to be braked so as to actuate the friction brake; and a first spring element configured to exert a force parallel to the actuating device to urge the friction brake lining in a direction of a brake actuation, wherein the first spring element is further configured such that the force exerted by the first spring element increases as the friction brake lining moves in the direction of the brake actuation, and wherein the actuating device has an electric motor and a ramp mechanism, the ramp mechanism being configured to convert a rotational drive motion of the electric motor into a translational motion for pressing the friction brake lining against the brake body.
