The electric brake booster is an essential component in realizing an electric-powered brake that enables excellent regenerative braking and automatic emergency braking systems.
Since ball screws convert between rotational force and linear force with high efficiency, the power of the motor can be rapidly applied as braking force, allowing for highly precise control.
Brakes are generally viewed as devices which simply slow down and stop movement, but electric brakes open up new possibilities, including independently controlling each tire. By discretely controlling the braking force applied to each of the four tires of a vehicle, turning performance can be greatly improved.
