A park brake system for adjusting a tension in a brake cable that is coupled to a park brake. The park brake system can include a driver that is communicatively coupled to a microcontroller, and an actuator that is rotatably displaceable by operation of the driver. An equalizer assembly can be linearly displaced along the rotating actuator to adjust a tension in the brake cable. The microcontroller can monitor a current being drawn by the driver as the driver is operated, and generate instructions to cease operation of the driver upon the current reaching a predetermined current threshold that corresponds a maximum force that is to be applied by the park brake. The microcontroller can also, when the park brake is being released from a set position, count pulses outputted by an encoder in connection with determining whether the park brake has reached a running clearance position.

A force input member for a brake actuating device of a vehicle brake system includes at least one first portion connected to the brake actuating device; at least one second portion connected to a brake pedal; and at least one coupling device. The at least one coupling device couples the first portion and the second portion to one another wherein the at least one coupling device is designed to permit a relative movement between the first portion and the second portion in the case of a force acting on the force input element which is greater than or equal to a predetermined release force.

A brake application device for a disc brake, in particular for a sliding caliper disc brake, is configured for the application of a brake disc. The disc brake has at least one brake caliper for receiving the brake application device and brake linings for applying the brake disc. The brake application device includes a brake application lever having at least one brake application lever foot. The brake application lever foot has a recess for receiving a bearing shell in the direction of the side facing the brake lining or the side facing away from the brake lining.

The invention relates to a disk brake for a utility vehicle, comprising a brake caliper, which extends over a brake disk and which is slidably held on at least one guide bar, which is connected to a stationary brake bracket by means of a screw, wherein the screw is fed through the guide bar, is designed in such a way that the guide bar has impressing elements, which are formed on the end face of the guide bar that lies against the brake bracket, at least in a circumferential and/or radial partial region, which impressing elements engage into the brake bracket in an impressed manner in such a way that an interlocking connection and/or a frictional connection is formed.

A brake cable includes joining member including a hollow body having external threads, an externally extended rim at an end, and a channel through the body; a fastening member including an internal space having internal threads, a hollow extension extending out of a first end, a tunnel through the extension to communicate with the space, and an annular surface on a first end of the space adjacent to the extension; a sealing assembly urged against the annular surface; a cable assembly including a flexible sleeve having an outer annular flange; and an oil tube having a first end secured to the extension. The cable assembly is through the oil tube. Both the joining member and the fastening member are configured to compress the sealing assembly so as to urge the sealing assembly against the annular surface for preventing lubricant from leaking.

A park release assembly including a package housing with a depth defining base and a cover and a cam component supported in a limited pivotal fashion within the housing. The cam component includes upper and lower portions, each further having an arcuate extending guide surface. A release cable extends in a first direction within the housing and engages the arcuate surface of the lower cam portion. An engagement cable extends in a second crosswise direction relative to the release cable and engages the arcuate surface of the upper cam portion. A pull handle is secured to an end of the engagement cable and, upon outwardly displacing the pull handle, causes concurrent rotation of the cam component in a counter biasing direction in order to linearly displace the release cable in an extending direction in order to actuate a remote lever to a vehicle Park release condition.

A Bowden cable, including a cable transmitting tensile force from an operator side to an active side and a sheath guiding the cable, and a retention device arranged at an end side of the sheath limiting movement of the cable with respect to the sheath in the direction of the operator side. The retention device operative to allow movement of the cable with respect to the sheath when a tensile force acting between the cable and sheath exceeds a threshold value.

An aircraft landing gear arrangement may comprise a landing gear bogie having an axle, a torque tube surrounding the axle and mechanically coupled to the landing gear bogie. A brake stack may surround the torque tube. The torque tube may comprise a cylindrical body extending between a first end and a second end. A flange may be disposed at the first end. A mating surface may be disposed on the first end or the second end of the torque tube for mating the torque tube to the landing gear bogie. A bogie flange may extend from the landing gear bogie whereby the torque tube may be mounted to the landing gear bogie.
