<p>An electric device (1) for operating vehicle brakes using a pulling element (2) and an operating motor (3) with a rotatable driving axis (4) should have a reduced power consumption and less friction and heat losses. This is achieved by the device comprising a centrifugal assembly (5) with rotatable parts (6) which are radially out- wardly movable due to centrifugal forces. The centrifugal assembly (5) comprises further at least one translational element (7), which is provided such that it can perform an axial movement related to the rotational speed of the driving axis (4) wherein the translational element (7) is axially coupled to the pulling element (2).</p>
