Patent ID: 6851525

Claim:
Electric-motor driven parking brake in particular for a vehicle, comprising: an electric brake-actuating motor, in the form of a commutator motor, a brake-actuating output shaft which extends along a second axis and is driven by the electric brake-actuating motor, a brake-actuating linkage which is arranged so that it can move parallel to a first axis which is essentially perpendicular to the second axis, a drive linkage from the brake-actuating output shaft to the brake-actuating linkage in the form of a cam disk or gate guide converts a rotation of the brake-actuating output shaft into a translational movement of the brake-actuating linkage by means of an actuation element which is guided along a surface of the cam disk or gate guide, wherein the surface of the cam disk or gate guide forms a height profile in a radial direction, and the orientation of the motor axis of the electric brake-actuating motor is essentially perpendicular to the second axis.
