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.

The present disclosure is directed to a clamping apparatus for securing a main bearing of a wind turbine. The clamping apparatus includes a clamp member configured for securement to a seal ring arranged with the main bearing, at least one clamping fastener configured through the clamp member, and at least one jacking fastener configured through the clamp member. Thus, the clamping fastener is configured to tighten the clamp member around the seal ring, whereas the jacking fastener is configured to push against the main bearing when tightened so as to maintain the main bearing in place during and installation and/or repair procedure.

A segmental bearing device includes a plurality of rolling elements, a segmental cage for receiving the plurality of rolling elements, and a partial shell. The segmental cage has a first end region and a first interference region disposed in the first end region. The partial shell has a bearing race for the plurality of rolling elements, and first and second axial guide flanges for axially guiding the segmental cage. The first interference region lies against the first axial guide flange, axially clamping the segmental cage. The segmental cage may also include a second end region, axially opposite the first end region, and a second interference region disposed in the second end region. The second interference region lies against the second axial guide flange, axially clamping the segmental cage.

A brake assembly comprises: a rotatable part configured to be rotatable by an actuator; a translatable part operably coupled with the rotatable part, and configured to be axially translatable relative to the rotatable part to move a brake pad according to rotation of the rotatable part; and a bearing assembly comprising: an inner race provided on an outside of the rotatable part, the inner race having first and second inner shoulders and an inner curved surface; an outer race having first and second outer shoulders and an outer curved surface; and rollable bodies movably disposed between the inner race and the outer race. The first inner shoulder of the inner race and/or the first outer shoulder of the outer race are asymmetric to the second inner shoulder of the inner race and/or the second outer shoulder of the outer race, respectively.

An electromechanical brake pressure generator including a spindle drive unit for converting a rotational motion of an electric motor-driven drive shaft into a translatory motion of a piston that is coupled to the spindle drive unit, the spindle drive unit being operatively connected to the drive shaft via a multi-stage transmission. The multi-stage transmission is a planetary gear set having a first and a second stage. With the aid of the transmission, a spindle or a spindle nut of the spindle drive unit is drivable, which is rotatably mounted in a housing of the brake pressure generator via a bearing assembly receiving axial and radial forces. A braking system for a vehicle including an electromechanical brake pressure generator is also described.

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.

The proposal is for a bearing of a lever (1), which is provided with a pivot arm (1A), in relation to a pressure piece (7), having a race (45) on the lever side, said race being curved in a partially cylindrical manner, a race (35) on the pressure-piece side, said race being curved in a partially cylindrical manner, rolling elements (37), which roll on both races (45, 35) and are grouped together in a bearing cage (36), and having a radial projection (34), which is fixed in terms of rotation relative to one race (35) and forms a stop which limits the mobility of the bearing cage (36) in one circumferential direction. In order to refine the bearing in terms of assembly, the bearing comprises a pocket (50) or opening, which is arranged in the other race (45) or extends partially into said race, said pocket or opening extending only over a part of the race width and, at the transition to the curvature plane (E) of the race (45), forming a stop edge (52) which limits the mobility of the bearing cage (36) in the other circumferential direction.

A method of monitoring friction associated with a plurality of aircraft wheels of an aircraft, the method including, for each of the plurality of aircraft wheels, obtaining wheel speed data associated with the aircraft wheel. The method includes determining, based at least in part on the wheel speed data, deceleration of the aircraft wheel during a time interval, and determining, based at least in part on the determined deceleration, a value indicative of friction associated with the aircraft wheel. The method includes providing, based at least in part on the determined value, a signal indicative of a level of friction associated with the aircraft wheel.

A pivot bearing supports a pivot lever of an application apparatus of a disc brake, wherein the pivot bearing has a curved bearing shell and a roller bearing cage which is pivotably guided thereon, wherein the roller bearing cage has at least one guiding vane which protrudes axially with respect to the pivot axis and which has at only one side an axially extending stop face for returning the roller member cage. A pivot lever arrangement and an application apparatus include the pivot bearing.
