The locking member includes a fixing part fixed to the cover member, and a plurality of locking pieces extending from the fixing part in a direction inclined with respect to a movement direction of the piston.

The application relates to a brake pad assembly (10) for a disk brake system and to a disk brake system. The proposed brake pad assembly (10) comprises a back plate (5) having a front side (4) for facing a brake disk (1) of the disk brake system and a friction layer (3) arranged on the front side (4) of the back plate (5) for contacting a friction surface of the brake disk (1). The back plate (5) comprises a guiding protrusion (9) configured to be slidably received within a guiding recess (19) of a carrier (20) of the disk brake system. The brake pad assembly (10) further comprises a pad spring (16) configured to be arranged between the guiding protrusion (9) of the back plate (5) and the guiding recess (19) of the carrier (20). The pad spring (16) is attached to the guiding protrusion (9) of the back plate (5).

Flat mount brake calipers for bicycles are described herein. An example flat mount brake caliper includes a caliper body defining a first piston cylinder and a second piston cylinder. The caliper body has a flat mount surface with a first threaded bore and a second threaded bore extending into the flat mount surface. The first and second threaded bores are configured to receive threaded fasteners to couple the caliper body to a frame of the bicycle. The first and second piston cylinders are arranged such that projections of the first and second threaded bores do not intersect the first or second piston cylinders. The flat mount brake caliper also includes a brake pad and first and second pistons disposed in the respective first and second piston cylinders to move the brake pad relative to the caliper body.

A guide assembly for a disc brake and method of mounting. The guide assembly may have a guide pin that includes a mounting portion and a guiding portion. A retaining bore of a brake carrier may receive the guide pin and retain the mounting portion. The guiding portion may protrude from an inboard-side of the brake carrier and may slidably support a brake caliper.

The invention relates to a method for carrying out a cleaning operation for at least one braking device of a braking system in a motor vehicle, said method having the following steps: setting a braking pressure by components of the braking device in accordance with a predefined braking pressure curve, wherein the braking pressure curve, during the cleaning operation, specifies braking pressures that vary over time for the braking device, correcting a setpoint motor torque that is to be provided by a drive motor of the motor vehicle and that is dependent on a braking effect brought about by the set braking pressure, the predefined braking pressure curve being selected such that a longitudinal deceleration of the motor vehicle, which is brought about by the predefined braking pressure curve, can be compensated for by a corresponding additional motor torque.

Provided is a caliper unit for a brake of a vehicle, in particular, a compact caliper unit capable of reducing a size, a weight, and a production cost of a component and improving fuel efficiency. The caliper unit for the brake includes an inner pad and an outer pad, which press both surfaces of a disc to generate braking force, a torque member fixed to a vehicle body and coupled to be movable forward and backward so that the inner pad and the outer pad press the disc, or the pressing of the inner pad and the outer pad to the disc is released, a caliper housing including a cylinder to which a brake hydraulic pressure is applied and a reaction force support part configured to press the outer pad to the disc, and a piston installed in the cylinder and moving forward and backward depending on a state of the brake hydraulic pressure applied to the cylinder to press the inner pad to the disc. Each of the inner pad and the outer pad has a circular shape, and a contact surface of the piston, which is in contact with the inner pad to press the inner pad during braking, has a circular shape.

A disc brake assembly includes an anchor bracket, a guide pin, a sliding mechanism, and a damping member. The anchor bracket may have at least one bore formed therein. The guide pin may be adapted to be disposed in the at least one bore and slidably support a brake caliper relative to the anchor bracket. The sliding mechanism may be adapted to be disposed in the at least one bore and to slidably support the guide pin in the at least one bore. The damping member may damp sliding motion of the guide pin relative to the anchor bracket.

A disc brake caliper and the body of an ABS system are mounted on a fork arm of a bicycle by means of a single adapter support that can be removably connected to the fork arm, and configured to removably support both the caliper body of the disc brake and the ABS system.

Disclosed is a caliper brake including a carrier on which a pair of pad plates composed of an inner pad plate and an outer pad plate is mounted to advance and retreat, and a caliper housing slidably mounted on the carrier and provided with a cylinder part in which a piston is installed to be advance and retreat by a braking hydraulic pressure, a finger part bent downward for pressing of the outer pad plates, and a body part connecting the cylinder part and the finger part.

Brake apparatus for a motor vehicle with a restoring apparatus, comprising a brake support body, a brake lining, a restoring apparatus for the brake lining, and a wear compensation means, the restoring apparatus being connected via the wear compensation means to the brake lining, the restoring apparatus having a lever arm which comprises a spring section, a supporting bearing and a lever bearing, the lever bearing being arranged between the spring section and the supporting bearing.
