Operation

When operating electric parking brake

1.  When motor operation current flows from the electric parking brake control module, the electric parking brake motor gear unit operates the built-in motor.

2.  The motor speed/torque is transmitted to the spindle by decelerating the speed using the built-in planetary gear and increasing the torque.

3.  When the spindle bolt rotates, the spindle nut moves to the brake piston side and it contacts the brake piston.

4.  The contacted spindle nut moves the brake piston to the disc pad side and the brake piston is pressed against the disc pad.

5.  The disc pads are pressed against the rear disc plate and the rear disc plate is held engaged.

When releasing electric parking brake

1.  When motor operation current flows from the electric parking brake control module, the electric parking brake motor gear unit operates the built-in motor.

2.  The motor rotates in the opposite direction of the electric parking brake operation.

3.  The motor speed/torque is transmitted to the spindle by decelerating the speed using the built-in planetary gear and increasing the torque.

4.  When the spindle bolt rotates, the spindle nut moves to the motor side and separates from the brake piston.

5.  The brake piston separates from the disc pad by the piston seal force to release the engaged the rear disc plate.
