A method of automatically adjusting at least one electric actuator, 52, of a brake, 42, to prevent dragging is provided including measuring a force applied by the at least one electrical actuator, 52, to a load measuring device. The measured force is determined to be below a predetermined threshold. A predefined offset is subtracted from a current zero torque position of the at least one electrical actuator, 52. Similarly, a drag offset is subtracted from the current zero torque position of the at least one electrical actuator, 52, to compensate for a dragging brake condition. The new zero torque positions is then stored within a brake actuator controller, 64, coupled configured to control the brake.
