A brake pad retention system is provided for a disc brake of a motor vehicle, in particular of a commercial vehicle. The disc brake includes a brake caliper which engages over a brake disc, a brake carrier which is positionally fixed on the vehicle, the brake carrier having entry-side and exit-side carrier horns and having a bridge which connects the carrier horns to one another, and at least one brake pad which is provided with a pad carrier plate and a friction pad fastened thereto and which is guided in a pad shaft formed by the carrier horns and by the bridge. At least one of the carrier horns of the carrier and the support surface, adjacent thereto, of the pad carrier plate can be fixed to one another in a positively locking manner with play. The at least one brake pad is held in the pad shaft under spring loading exerted by a pad retention spring which extends transversely with respect to the axial direction of the brake disc and which is radially deflectable on the brake pad. The at least one pad retention spring is arranged such that the pad retention spring, in the assembled state, presses the brake pad away from the bridge part of the brake carrier and against the carrier horns without play.

A speed reducing device for a carriage includes: a base fixed to a carriage body; a carrier fixed to the base; a case to which a wheel is detachably attached; a reducer that is supported by the carrier, decelerates power input thereto, and transmits the power to the case to rotate the case; and a flange fixed to the base or the carriage body and separately provided from the carrier. The flange supports a brake unit that is for braking the power input to the reducer.

A braking device, a braking system for an elevator, and an elevator system. The braking device comprises a braking unit and an actuating unit arranged to cause the braking unit to be in a braking state to provide a braking force to a mating external component, or in a non-braking state to stop providing the braking force to the external component, and the braking device further comprises a vibration isolating member with non-linear rigidity, for providing an effect of damping and vibration isolation between the actuating unit and the braking unit at least in the non-braking state.

The present disclosure relates to a brake disc for a vehicle disc brake. The brake disc has a brake disc body, with a friction ring on which friction surfaces are formed, and a brake disc pot that is designed for fastening the brake disc to a vehicle axle. The brake disc pot is connected to the brake disc body in a connecting area via at least one connecting element, and at least one reinforcing ring in the connecting area is mounted on the brake disc in a force-fit manner.

A mobile radiography system includes a wheeled transport frame and a vertical column mounted on the transport frame. A telescoping arm is attached to the vertical column and to an x-ray tube head. The telescoping arm allows an operator to rotate the tube head to a desired orientation and then to fix the tube head in the desired orientation without mechanical impact noise. A permanent magnet and an electromagnetic coil assembly allows an operator to easily and quietly control rotation of the tube head.
