Abstract

An arrangement for operating a brake of a vehicle has a controllable operating electric motor and a conversion device for converting the rotational movement of the operating electric motor into a translational movement of one or several brake element(s) which are in an operative connection with the conversion device. At least one additional electric motor is provided which can be controlled separately of the operating electric motor and has at least one additional conversion device for converting the rotation of the at least one additional electric motor into a translational movement of the brake element(s) which is independent of the translational movement caused by the operating motor and its conversion device.
