A brake pad may have at least one plate. The plate may be provided with a first slot. The first slot may have a first slot edge adapted to accommodate a first pin. The first slot edge may have a first portion and a second portion, in which the brake pad has a tangential center-of-gravity plane. The first and second portions may be crossed by the tangential center-of-gravity plane so that under a reverse braking condition the brake pad rests against the first pin in at least a first contact point of the first slot. Under a forward braking condition the brake pad rests against the first pin in at least a second contact point of the first slot in which the second contact point of first slot lies in the tangential center-of-gravity plane.

A brake pad may have at least one plate and at least one friction material supported by the plate. The friction material surface may have a barycenter. The plate may have a first slot and a second slot. The first slot may have a first slot edge adapted to accommodate a first pin mounted on the caliper body. The second slot may have a second slot edge adapted to accommodate a second pin mounted on the caliper body. In a forward braking condition, the brake pad rests on the first pin with a first slot first portion, and the brake pad rests on the second pin with a second slot first portion. The first slot is arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the barycenter and the second slot is arranged in a radially inner position with respect to the barycenter. The first slot and the second slot may be radially external with respect to a barycenter circumference centered on a rotation axis and passing through a barycenter.

The disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicle accessories, and particularly provides a brake for a vehicle and a vehicle. The disclosure aims at solving the problem that existing brakes for a vehicle usually cannot overcome low-frequency stubborn noise generated by a caliper structure in the brake in a braking process. For this purpose, the brake for a vehicle according to the disclosure comprises a first caliper body and a second caliper body, wherein the first caliper body and the second caliper body are provided with a first friction disc and a second friction disc respectively, a brake disc is arranged between the first friction disc and the second friction disc, and the first friction disc and the second friction disc are each further provided with at least one mass block, so as to quickly reduce low-frequency operating noise of the brake, thereby fundamentally eliminating braking noise, and then solving the problem that the existing brakes for a vehicle usually cannot overcome low-frequency stubborn noise generated by a caliper structure in the brake in a braking process.

A tool for retracting pistons into cylinder bores is disclosed. A plurality of centering cones are provided to engage with a multitude of piston sizes and configurations. A user selects an appropriately sized centering cone and engages the selected centering cone with a spring loaded distal pusher portion of said tool. A female threaded collar and spreader plate combination receives a male threaded thrust bolt. The male threaded thrust bolt carries the spring loaded distal pusher portion. The spreader plate is pressed against a face of the caliper assembly, and rotation of the male threaded thrust bolt by a driver, such as a ratchet wrench or impact gun, applies inward and rotating forces from the spring loaded distal pusher portion of said tool to the piston, while separating the spring loaded distal pusher portion of said tool from the spreader plate.

The brake pad for a disk brake includes a lining and a plate. The lining includes:—a friction face and a fastening face;—a rear edge;—an inner edge and an outer edge; and—a collection groove extending into the inner edge or outer edge. The plate has a hole, the hole being connected to a vacuum source via communication element. The lining has a rear region including the rear edge and the collection groove, and a chamfered portion such that an area of a friction surface of the rear region increases when a thickness of the rear region decreases, the collection groove being located at a distance from a free surface of the chamfered portion and having a cross-section which extends obliquely towards the free surface of the chamfered portion.

A yoke installation and removal assisting device includes a structural body, a pair of yoke-receiving channels, a tool-receiving recess, and a pin-receiving channel. The pair of yoke-receiving channels terminally traverses into the structural body at a first end and is used to position a yoke. To prevent slipping during operation, a safety pin is preferably inserted through the pin-receiving channel and a pair of pin holes of the yoke. The pin-receiving channel laterally traverses into the structural body perpendicular to the pair of yoke-receiving channels and is used to hold the yoke against the structural body. The tool-receiving recess traverses into the structural body at a second end and is used to connect to an air tool or a manual ratchet. By operating the air tool/manual ratchet the yoke positioned within the structural body can be installed/removed.

A brake disk defines an annular shape having a radially inner side and a radially outer side. The brake disk includes: a radially outer braking surface, the braking surface having a maximum operating temperature; a fusible material section radially inward from and connected to the braking surface. The fusible material has a maximum operating temperature, the fusible material section suitable for transmitting torque between the braking surface and a shaft. The maximum operating temperature of the braking surface is higher than the maximum operating temperature of the fusible material section. When the temperature of the fusible material section raises above the maximum operating temperature of the fusible material section, the fusible material section is configured to no longer transmit torque between the braking surface and the shaft.

Provided is a caliper brake pad spring applying load to a brake pad in a set position. A spring mounting unit is mounted on a window of a caliper body. Spring pressing units extend from both sides of the spring mounting unit in one direction to apply load to a brake pad by pressing the brake pad.

A brake caliper (1, 1′) for a vehicle brake, in particular a disc brake of a commercial vehicle, includes a pressure piece (110, 110′), a thrust piece (120, 120′) configured to move axially relative to the pressure piece (110, 110′) in a thrust direction (A) to transmit a braking force and a guiding member (130a,b, 130′a,b) configured to limit the movement of the thrust piece (120, 120′) relative to the pressure piece (110, 110′) in at least one direction orthogonal to the thrust direction (A). The brake caliper (1, 1′) may further include a lever (140) pivotally supported between the thrust piece (120, 120′) and the pressure piece (110, 110′), wherein the guiding member (130a,b, 130′a,b) is configured to limit the movement of the lever (140) relative to the pressure piece (110, 110′) and/or the thrust piece (120, 120′) in at least one direction orthogonal to the thrust direction (A).

The disclosure illustrates and describes a guide element which extends from a first end via a guide portion to a second end. The guide element has a fixing portion arranged at the second end and extending along a first extent direction, which runs transversely with respect to the axial direction, to a free end. The guide element has a connecting portion between the guide portion and the fixing portion. The connecting portion extends along a second extent direction, which runs transversely with respect to the axial direction and transversely with respect to the second extent direction, and extends along the axial direction from a first plane, which runs perpendicular to the axial direction, to a second plane, which runs perpendicular to the axial direction. The fixing portion is spaced apart in an axial direction both from the first plane and from the second plane. The disclosure furthermore relates to a corresponding brake anchor and to a corresponding disk brake system.
