Ball Screw Drive for Electromechanical Brake Booster
There is an increasing trend from conventional, vacuum-based brake systems to electromechanical solutions (E-Booster), which use a ball screw drive as a mechanical converter. These convert the rotation provided by the electric motor (small input torque) into a translation of the brake system (large output force).
Highlights
- Reduction of fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions (power on-demand)
- Maintenance-free throughout the entire operating life
- Customer-specific design solution: Optimized for installation space, loads, total system costs, and performance
Advantages
- Integration of comfort and safety functions on system level possible (semi-autonomous/autonomous driving, emergency brake, etc.)
- High efficiency, very low friction
- Ball screw drive design with optimized noise characteristics
- Available clearance-free if required
Features
- Available with rotating spindle or nut
- Integration of adjacent components possible, e.g. bearing, piston, etc.
- Manufactured with high-precision forming methods for complex system requirements
