Abstract

The invention relates to an electromechanically actuatable brake (2), comprising an electrically actuatable actuator (30) for applying the brake (2) in an application direction (42), which actuator (30) converts a rotary motion of a spindle (20) into a translational motion of an application element (26), in particular a piston, wherein the spindle (20) is driven by an electric motor (8), wherein a mechanical store for storing energy by twisting is provided, the first end of which store is coupled to the spindle (20) and the second end to a bracing element (80), wherein the store takes up energy during rotation of the spindle (20) in the application direction (42), by which energy the spindle (20) is rotated back against the application direction (42) in the currentless state of the electric motor (8), whereby the brake (2) is released.
