Abstract
A setting device, particularly a motor vehicle parking brake includes a remotely-operated drive, a hollow shaft, a spindle shaft and an elastic element. The hollow shaft is driven by the remotely-operated drive so that the hollow shaft rotates. The spindle shaft moves relative to the hollow shaft within the hollow shaft due to the rotation of the hollow shaft. The spindle shaft is connected to a brake cable such that the spindle shaft can apply and release the brake as it moves in different directions within the hollow shaft. The elastic element is loaded due to movement of the hollow shaft as the hollow shaft is driven in an attempt to release the brake while the brake cable is blocked.
