ABSTRACT:
A vehicle brake system includes a wheel shaft to which a rotor is fixedly mounted for rotation relative to a stator. Rotor coils are mounted to the rotor in close running relation with stator coils mounted by the stator. The stator also mounts a disc brake caliper and an electric actuator for pressing brake pads against surfaces of the rotor. A control circuit selectively, electrically energizes the rotor coils to produce electromagnetic braking and/or the electric actuator to produce frictional braking by the disc brake in accordance with input signals indicating the magnitude of the depression force exerted on a brake pedal, vehicle speed, and braking torque in a manner to harmonize braking action with the braking demands of the driver.
