    Abstract: A brake system is disclosed herein. The brake system includes an electromechanical brake actuator, a pressure plate, an end plate, a ball screw positioned between the electromechanical brake actuator and the pressure plate, and a plurality of rotating discs positioned between the pressure plate and the end plate. The electromechanical brake actuator is configured to extend the ball screw to a ball screw position to apply a requested force to the pressure plate towards the end plate thereby forcing the plurality of rotating discs together in an axial direction in order to reduce a rotational speed of the plurality of rotating discs. The ball screw is extended by the electromechanical brake actuator to the ball screw position based on a worn state of the plurality of rotating discs and a stiffness curve for the electromechanical brake actuator that represents force versus ball screw position for the worn state.

    Abstract: A brake system is disclosed herein. The brake system includes a pressure plate, an end plate, a plurality of rotating discs positioned between the pressure plate and the end plate, an electromechanical brake actuator controller, and an electromechanical brake actuator including a ball screw configured to extend to exert force on the pressure plate, the electromechanical brake actuator operatively coupled to the electromechanical brake actuator controller. Responsive to receiving a command from the electromechanical brake actuator controller, the electromechanical brake actuator is configured to retract the ball screw away from the pressure plate to at least a zero-touch point.

    Abstract: A method for controlling brake assemblies of a vehicle is provided. Responsive to identifying a locked wheel protection event for a first wheel of a paired set of wheels on the vehicle, where the paired set of wheels is the first wheel on one side of the vehicle and a second wheel on an opposite side of the vehicle, a first brake pressure to a first brake assembly associated with the first wheel is released to zero pounds per square inch (PSI) and a second brake pressure to a second brake assembly associated with the second wheel of the paired set of wheels is reduced by a predetermined amount thereby reducing a yaw effect to the vehicle.
