What Causes Insufficient Clamping Force in an Electronic Parking Brake?
1 Answers
Electronic parking brake controllers may have insufficient braking force or issues with internal torque sensors. Below is relevant information about electronic parking brakes: 1. Principle: The electronic parking system, technically known as an electromechanical parking brake, differs from conventional mechanical parking brake systems (hereafter referred to as handbrakes) by utilizing electronic control technology to achieve parking braking. Its working principle remains the same as mechanical handbrakes, relying on friction generated between brake discs and pads to control parking braking. The key difference lies in the control mechanism, which replaces the traditional mechanical handbrake lever with an electronic button - hence the name "electronic parking brake." 2. Functions: Provides sufficient braking force to ensure vehicle parking safety; Features a mechanical locking function when the parking brake system reaches its limit position; Can be operated from within the cockpit; Displays parking brake status on the instrument panel; Includes automatic adjustment capability for actuator clamping force.
