    Abstract: The electric linear motion actuator includes an electric motor, a linear motion mechanism configured to convert rotary motion of the electric motor to linear motion of a linear motion part via a rotation input-output shaft, and a housing holding the linear motion mechanism. The electric motor includes a stator and a rotor which are arranged such that the directions of magnetic poles that generate interlinkage flux contributing to a motor torque are parallel with a rotation axis of the electric motor. The stator is arranged so as to be coupled with an axial end surface of the housing. The rotor is arranged so as to have a space, in the axial direction, from the torque generating surface of the stator, and the rotor is fixed to the rotation input-output shaft of the linear motion mechanism.

    Abstract: A magnetic load sensor is provided which is high in axial rigidity. The load sensor includes a pair of parallel plate coupled together by coupling pieces. The coupling pieces are inclined relative to the axial direction such that when an axial load is applied to the parallel plates, the parallel plates are displaced relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, due to deflection of the coupling pieces. A magnetic target is mounted to the parallel plate, and a magnetic sensor element is mounted to the parallel plate such that when the parallel plates are displaced relative to each other in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction, the magnetic target and the magnetic sensor element are displaced relative to each other in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction.

    Abstract: Two electric brake devices are mounted to respective wheels of a vehicle and each include an electric motor. If fluctuations in braking force occurs in one of the two electric brake devices, a control device calculates operating quantities of the respective electric brake devices based on the deviation between a command value of the sum of the braking forces of the electric brake devices and the sum of the feedback values of the braking forces of the electric brake devices, and causes both electric control devices to perform compensation operations for compensating for the braking force fluctuations while keeping constant the sum of the respective braking forces. This makes it possible to effectively reduce the braking force fluctuations even if the operating amplitudes of the individual electric brake devices are small.

    Abstract: An electric linear motion actuator includes an electric motor, a motion converting mechanism that converts the rotational motion of the electric motor into a linear motion of a linear moving member, a load sensor that detects the magnitude of the load applied to the brake disk from the linear moving member, and a controller that performs feedback control on the electric motor based on the difference between the load detected by the load sensor and a load command value. The controller reduces the number of revolutions of the electric motor when the linear moving member moves into a predetermined zone immediately before the position where the clearance between the linear moving member and the brake disk becomes zero.

    Abstract: A controller of an electric brake device includes first, second and third PKB operators. Upon receipt of an instruction to produce a parking brake active state while a parking brake is released, the first PKB operator exerts a braking force without depending on a brake pedal and determines if a desired braking force is exerted. After the determination by the first PKB operator, the second PKB operator makes a movable part ready to come into engagement with an engaged part and causes an electric motor to rotate in a direction in which the braking force is decreased, so that the movable part comes into engagement with the engaged part to prevent the rotation of the electric motor. Then, the third PKB operator produces the parking brake active state where no driving power is generated to the electric motor.

    Abstract: When a rotor performs an ordinary rotation operation, an axial position of the rotor is retained such that the rotor is rotatable with respect to a stator. When a parking brake switch is operated while a vehicle is at stoppage, a rotor slider slides the rotor in an axial direction against a preload of an axially preloading part. This brings an engaging portion of the rotor into engagement with an engaged potion of a housing. The reverse input holder retains the rotation angle of the rotor during the engagement due to the fact that the engagement between the engaging portion and the engaged potion is maintained against a reverse input load acting on the rotor as an external force that accompanies a reaction force of a pressing force of a brake friction member.
