Patent ID: 7346443

Claim:
A method of servo-controlling a vehicle brake system including at least one brake electric having at least one actuator comprising a pusher that faces friction elements and is driven by an electric motor to apply a force selectively against the friction elements in response to a braking setpoint, the method making use of a relationship for transforming a setpoint for the braking to be applied by the pusher into a setpoint for the position of the pusher, the method comprising the steps of: operating the brake in conditions in which the force applied by the pusher against the friction elements depends essentially on a power supply current flowing through the electric motor; for at least one operating point, identifying a position of the pusher and the corresponding power supply current of the electric motor, and deducing a corresponding force from the measured current; and adjusting the relationship between the position setpoint and the braking setpoint as a function of the position and the force as determined in this way; wherein said operating conditions include imposing at least one position pause on the pusher.
