Abstract
An electromechanical actuator for a vehicle brake, the actuator comprising first and second portions 8 and 9 that are separable. The first portion 8 includes an electric motor 5 and connection structure 15 for connecting the actuator to an external control structure 4. The second portion 9 including a slidable pusher 6, the second portion 9 also including measurement structure 21. The first portion 8 includes a first antenna 14 connected to the connection structure 15, and the second portion 9 includes a second antenna 22 connected to the measurement structure 21, the two antennas 14, 22 being arranged to be electromagnetically coupled together when the first portion 8 and the second portion 9 are coupled together, so as to enable electrical signals to be transferred between the measurement structure 21 and the connection structure 15.
