Abstract

A motor-driven brake apparatus has a motor and a ball screw that converts rotational motion of the motor into rectilinear motion of a screw member. A position detector detects a stroke position of the screw member. A controller controls the motor on the basis of the result of detection by the position detector. The controller controls the motor so as to change the clearance between an inner pad (outer pad) and a disk according to vehicle running conditions.
