Patent ID: 8657079

Claim:
An electric parking brake ( 1 ) comprising: a motor/gear unit ( 2 ) having an output shaft ( 3 ), a brake caliper ( 7 ) and a housing component ( 8 ), wherein the motor/gear unit ( 2 ) generates rotation of the output shaft ( 3 ), a spindle device ( 4 ) having a spindle ( 5 ) and a nut ( 6 ), wherein the spindle device ( 4 ) converts the rotation of the output shaft ( 3 ) into an axial movement in the axial direction (X-X) of the nut ( 6 ), and a sealing element ( 10 ) forming a seal at a gap running in the radial direction, between the brake caliper ( 7 ) and the housing component ( 8 ) of the motor/gear unit ( 2 ), characterized in that the spindle ( 5 ) is connected directly to the output shaft ( 3 ) in the axial direction (X-X), the spindle ( 5 ) is centered on the output shaft ( 3 ), the spindle is mounted in the brake caliper ( 7 ), wherein the sealing element ( 10 ) has a sealing face which is directed in the axial direction (X-X), and a corrosion-relief groove ( 11 ) is arranged in the radial direction outside the sealing element ( 10 ).
