ELECTROMECHANICAL WHEEL BRAKE AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING AN ELECTROMECHANICAL WHEEL BAKE

An electromechanical wheel brake for a motor vehicle, has an electromotive drive assembly designed to impinge a drive shaft with a torque. A transmission assembly transmits a torque acting on the drive shaft to an output shaft. A clamping device converts a torque acting on the output shaft into a clamping force acting along a clamping direction. A clamping force sensor system determines the clamping force generated by the clamping device. A control unit controls the drive assembly on the basis of a brake request and an applied clamping force. The drive assembly, the transmission assembly and the clamping device are each functional modules which can be checked for their respective function and, in the installed state, enter into operative connection via correspondingly designed interfaces. In the installed state of the wheel brake the interfaces establish a signal connection between the control unit and the clamping force sensor system.

Disc brake caliper

A disc brake caliper has a caliper body arranged straddling a brake disc having a rotation axis defining an axial direction and opposite friction surfaces, pads accommodated in the caliper body, a cylinder forming a cylindrical wall and a bottom wall, a piston, and a parking-braking system having a rotating member accommodated within a rotation housing formed in the bottom wall. The cylinder defines a first annular housing and a second annular housing both made in the bottom wall, and extending in a direction transverse to the axial direction and leading into the rotation housing. The second annular housing is distinct from the first annular housing and positioned in a direction opposite to an inner surface of the bottom wall. The first annular housing accommodates a first seal. The second annular housing accommodates a second seal. The first and second seals act between the rotating member and the bottom wall.
