Abstract
Brake linkage for vehicle friction brakes is actuated by a brake power motor (6) and comprises a vent play regulator (10) having an adjustment element driven by an auxiliary motor (14). At the start of braking, the auxiliary motor (14) is actuated in advance of the brake power motor (6), causing application of the vehicle friction brake through the adjustment element. The brake power motor is then activated and tightly clamps shut the friction brake. The brake linkage is particularly suitable as a brake clamp (5) for disc brakes, the vent play regulator then being integrated into the pull rod (11).
