Abstract
A test bench for testing a brake comprises a pressure generating assembly for providing a brake fluid with an increased hydraulic pressure, a test bench control, and an electromechanical brake actuator. The pressure generating assembly is actuated mechanically and the brake fluid is supplied to the brake to actuate the brake. The electromechanical brake actuator, which simulates a vehicle driver's braking foot, is provided for mechanical actuation of the pressure generating assembly. The brake actuator comprises an electric motor activated by the test bench control and a planetary roller screw drive driven by the electric motor. The planetary roller screw drive is mechanically coupled to the pressure generating assembly to mechanically actuate the pressure generating assembly.
