Abstract

A method for adjusting the clearance of an electromechanical brake, in particular of a utility vehicle brake, involves the following steps: activating a clearance test cycle for the brake, applying at least one brake lining of the brake in the direction of a brake disc and determining a contact position in which the brake lining enters into contact with the brake disc when application occurs, determining the clearance as well the degree of wear of the lining on the basis of the determined contact position, calculating the clearance which is necessary for the brake and a necessary contact position of the brake lining and brake disc in accordance with the degree of wear of the lining using predefined parameters. The method is performed by a suitable brake and a control device.
