Patent ID: 10611350

Abstract:
A vehicle electric brake device configured such that, when no braking force request is made, a piston of an actuator of the electric brake device is retracted to a set backward position so as to allow a clearance to exist between a friction member and a rotary body of the device, wherein a controller of the device is configured to execute, for the actuator, a clearance removing control in which the piston is advanced at a first speed and subsequently advanced such that a piston advancing speed is reduced from the first speed to a second speed, so as to remove the clearance, the clearance removing control being executed when the braking force request is generated, and a braking-force-request-dependent control in which a braking force in accordance with a degree of the braking force request is generated, the braking-force-request-dependent control being executed after execution of the clearance removing control.
