A disc brake assembly that includes a brake caliper, a retainer strap, and a sensor assembly. The retainer strap is mounted to the brake caliper and extends across a brake pad assembly. The sensor assembly is mounted to the retainer strap and generates a signal indicative of a position of the brake pad assembly.

A test bench for screwdrivers comprises a hydraulic brake unit (11) provided with a coupling (12) for a screwdriver to be tested and angle and torque measurement transducers (15). The brake unit (11) comprises a disk (40) axially connected to the coupling (12) so as to be rotated by a screwdriver to be tested, and braking plates (42, 43) pushed in a controllable manner with their braking surfaces (44, 45) against the disk (40) by means of a plurality of pistons (46, 47) supplied with fluid by an electrovalve (16). The pistons (46, 47) of the plurality can be selectively activated under the control of the control unit (26) so as to select a maximum braking torque of the brake. The control may be performed by means a PID controller (19) which receives an electrovalve control signal (22) from a control unit (26) so as to follow braking curves depending on the angle of rotation and/or torque measured and has parameters which can be set using different sets of parameters. A method for controlling the bench is also described.

A land vehicle includes a frame structure, a plurality of wheels supported by the frame structure, and a body supported by the frame structure. The frame structure includes an operator cage that at least partially defines an operator cabin and a rear compartment positioned rearward of the operator cage in a longitudinal direction. The body includes a first sidewall arranged on one side of the vehicle and a second sidewall arranged on another side of the vehicle opposite the first sidewall.

A quick replace axle for use on the non-drive axles of a vehicle comprising an outer sleeve and an inner axle wherein the inner axle fits into the outer sleeve and is held in place with a plurality of secure pins. The quick replace axle may also be hydraulic and may include a disk break assembly or a drum break assembly.

A disk brake includes a brake disk, a brake caliper, which fits over the brake disk, a brake support, a brake pad and an application device, which presses the brake pad against the brake disk when braking, wherein the brake pad rests in a U-shaped well and the two legs of the “U” serve to support the brake pad in the circumferential direction of the brake disk and the “base” of the “U” serves to support the brake pad radially toward the inside. The distance between the two legs of the “U” is shorter at the radially outer ends thereof than the distance at the radially inner ends thereof.

A carbon article shaped as a brake disc, the brake disc being coated with an anti-oxidant coating obtained by applying as a primer coat a composition including orthophosphoric acid, aluminum hydroxide, demineralized water, and a wetting additive; curing the primer coat; applying as a barrier coat a composition including orthophosphoric acid, aluminum hydroxide, demineralized water, colloidal silica, silicon hexaboride, boron, and a wetting additive; and curing the barrier coat.

A brake device for a vehicle comprising at least one wheel, in particular for an electric motorcycle or electric scooter, said device comprising a housing for positioning on a wheel axle of the vehicle. The vehicle has a brake disc for introducing braking power into a wheel rim of the wheel and transfer apparatus for transferring the braking power to the brake disc. The transfer apparatus is held in the housing and is operatively connected to the brake disc, said brake disc being formed integrally with the housing.
