A brake device for braking a wheel, having a brake drum, a brake carrier for shifting a brake lining in order to press the brake lining against the brake drum, a sensor for sensing a rotational speed of the wheel, and an adjustment element configured to be coupled to the sensor and to spatially adjust the sensor.

A drum brake module for motor vehicles, the drum brake module being driven by an electric motor and having at least one parking brake function, includes an electromechanical cable pull actuator which is fastened on the anchor plate with the aid of an adapter. The adapter is designed as a one-piece, thin walled frame having at least one fastening flange for receiving the cable pull actuator and is held in place on the anchor plate.

A transmission having an integrated gear and brake mechanism is disposed in a housing, the transmission having a variable drive mechanism, gear train, and an output axle engaged to the gear train. The output axle is driven by a final drive gear having an integrated drum brake within its circumference.

A brake drum system (100) for a wheel of a vehicle, comprising a brake drum (110) rotatable with the wheel, the brake drum having an inner surface (124) adapted to receive a friction-generating lining when a driver applies the brakes of the vehicle; a wheel end hub (112) adapted to be located radially between a drive axle of the vehicle and the brake drum (110); and a substantially circular spring element (102) for concentrically aligning the brake drum (110) with the wheel end hub (112), the spring element being adapted to be clamped between the brake drum and the wheel end hub for providing a radially directed spring force, wherein the spring element has an outer surface adapted to be pressed against the brake drum and an inner surface adapted to be pressed against the wheel end hub.

The present disclosure relates to a brake drum for a drum brake for a vehicle. The brake drum comprises a braking surface adapted to receive at least one brake shoe of the drum brake. The brake drum further comprises a cooling arrangement comprising a set of cooling conduits located between a braking surface and an outer surface.

The material of the brake drum located radially between the set of cooling conduits and the braking surface at an inner axial cross-section has an inner axial aggregate thermal conductance and the material of the brake drum located radially between the set of cooling conduits and the braking surface at the outer axial cross-section has an outer axial aggregate thermal conductance.

Accordingly, the inner axial aggregate thermal conductance is different from the outer axial aggregate thermal conductance.

Provided is a spring lock mechanism including: a lock drum (11) provided on either one of a first member (20) and a second member (20); a coil spring (12) secured to the other member, abutting on the lock drum (11), and locking turning of the second member (30) in one direction relative to the first member (20) due to a frictional force; and a switching mechanism causing the second member (30) to turn relative to the first member (20) to switch a state in which the locking has been established and a state in which the locking has been released and held, in which the coil spring (12) abuts on an inner circumferential surface of the lock drum (11), the diameter of the coil spring (12) increases through compression of a spring wire material of the coil spring (12) in a longitudinal direction caused by the turning of the second member (20), the coil spring thus further presses the inner circumferential surface of the lock drum (11) and locks the turning due to the frictional force, and the switching mechanism accompanies an operation of extending or shortening a length of the coil spring (12) in the state in which the locking has been released relative to the length of the coil spring (12) in the state in which the locking has been established.

What is disclosed is a self governing speed control device for controlling the rotation speed of a sprinkler turbine. The device has a housing that houses a viscous fluid. An axle extends into the housing and is configured to rotate in the housing. The axle is fixedly attached to a primary drum that rotates with the axle. One or more hinge pins extends from the primary drum. A brake shoe is positioned on the hinge pin. The hinge pin passes into a slot in an actuation drum configured to rotate on the axle. The brake shoe is configured to expand and contract based on the speed of rotation of the axle in relation to the speed of rotation of the actuation drum.

A brake lock system for a pumpjack brake apparatus comprises a latch handle lever pivotally mounted at a location on a pumpjack, a countershaft rotatably mounted on the pumpjack, latch handle linkage, and control linkage that transitions movement and force of the latch handle lever to a latch arm with a latch dog for pivoting the latch arm to insert the latch dog in a notch in the pumpjack brake apparatus. The latch handle, latch handle linkage, control linkage, and latch arm have dimensions that provide a mechanical advantage of the latch handle lever over the latch arm.
