ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a brake actuator of a vehicle which provides for a hydraulic reset in such a manner that a defined distance is always present between the brake lining 26 and the brake disc in the rest position of the friction brake. The brake actuator includes an electric motor 2, a hydraulic transmission 16 having a hydraulic chamber 22 with a first hydraulic piston 14 and a second hydraulic piston 18 and a second hydraulic cylinder 20. The brake actuator also includes a spindle unit (8, 10) located between an electric motor 2 and the hydraulic transmission 16. A further hydraulic chamber in the form of a readjusting chamber 28 is also provided. This additional chamber is closed off with a compensating piston movable relative to the ambient. The additional chamber 28 is connected to the first hydraulic chamber 22 via an opening 44 located in the second hydraulic piston 18. The opening 44 is provided with a check valve to permit flow to the pressure chamber 22. In the event of an exchange of the brake lining, the first hydraulic piston 14 is driven back so far that it clears an opening 40 of a reset channel 36 located between the pressure chamber 22 and the readjusting chamber 28. A further check valve 38 secures the reset channel 36 with respect to the readjusting chamber 28.
