The system must have some sort of protection against binding. The only Issue I have for some reason is settling the brakes. I get full brakes or nothing. Can’t find the in between brakes. Lol
Pretty much all electric work on the principle that when the amps goes to a certain level (depending on the gear size) it stop the movement, then you always hear just a little noise....that is the unload...it removed the pressure so it doesn’t get damage with time...

That’s how it actually stop the down and up actuation since there’s no micro switch to wear out or damage with time....
