Abstract

The invention relates to a regulating device, in particular a motor vehicle parking brake with a regulating unit having a power-operated drive. To provide a regulating device which enables simple cable balancing, it is proposed that a hollow shaft be moved against a torsionally resistant stop as a function of the spring force of an elastic element, when the parking brake is released. The axial position of the stop thus ensures that an adequate cable bias force is always present.
