Abstract

A setting device, particularly a motor vehicle parking brake, has a telescopic device (2; 3), which can be axially displaced by a setting unit (10) in a housing (1) or the like and which contains a hollow shaft (2) and a spindle shaft (3). This spindle shaft is axially connected to the hollow shaft in a manner that enables it to rotate and advance and actuates a brake cable (4). The setting device also has an axial advancing support between the hollow shaft (2) and the housing (1) via at least one elastic element (5) serving as a force sensor when the brake is pulled or in the event of a blocked brake release. According to one embodiment, a second elastic element (6) is provided for recognizing blocking of the brake cable (4) during an attempt to release the brake and, accordingly, after the release in tension of the first elastic element (5).
