Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A brake device for braking a vehicle has a brake surface which is rotationally fixedly connected to a wheel axle of the vehicle, a brake lining which can be pressed with a braking force against the brake surface and an actuating element coupled to a control unit, for generating the braking force. The control unit is connected to a speed sensor for measuring a speed of the vehicle and is set up to adjust the braking force in dependence on the speed. The brake device has as high a braking force as possible which is introduced into the brake surfaces. The control unit is coupled to the actuating element via a device for continuous pressure adjustment, so as to enable a continuous adaptation of the braking force to the present speed in each case. The braking force is advantageously adjusted inversely proportionally to the speed of the vehicle.
