A brake assembly includes a brake disc in rotational engagement with a wheel of a vehicle, a brake pad which frictionally engages the brake disc in a dynamic braking operation and a parking brake operation, a dynamic actuator adapted to bring the brake pad and brake disc into the frictional engagement in the dynamic braking operation, and a parking brake actuator associated with the dynamic actuator such that, in the parking brake operation, the frictional engagement of the brake disc and brake pad is maintained.

A disc brake device has brake linings attached to brake levers that open and close in the lateral direction and sandwich a brake disc. A linking mechanism including a coupling device including lever mechanisms and a spindle opens and closes in conjunction with the lifting and lowering operation of a rod of a thruster, and the spindle is rotated in one direction by a one-way clutch in accordance with the relative displacement between the lever mechanisms and the coupling device to shorten an overall length of the coupling device, the rotation of the spindle is transmitted to an adjustment bolt screwed to a stopper on the lower end sides of the left and right brake levers via a flexible shaft, and the adjustment bolt protrudes downward with respect to the stopper.

A brake and method of assembly are provided. The brake includes a friction plate configured for coupling to a rotatable body for rotation with the rotatable body about an axis of rotation, a pressure plate disposed about the axis on a first side of the friction plate and fixed against rotation, and an armature plate disposed about the axis on a second side of the friction plate. An electromagnet is disposed about the axis on an opposite side of the armature plate relative to the friction plate. A spring biases the armature plate in a first axial direction towards the friction plate and away from the electromagnet to engage the brake. A fastener couples the pressure plate to the electromagnet. The fastener conforms to a space between opposed surfaces of the pressure plate and the electromagnet and, upon hardening, bonds the pressure plate to the electromagnet.

There is provided a non-excited operation type brake for a brake device that is configured to allow rotation of a motor shaft when energized and that is configured to stop the rotation of the motor shaft when de-energized, including: a casing that is configured to function as a yoke and that includes a coil accommodating portion having a substantially U-shaped cross section and formed in an annular shape as a whole. The casing further includes an auxiliary yoke that has a substantially cylindrical shape and that is fitted inside the coil accommodating portion, the auxiliary yoke being separated from the coil accommodating portion.

The invention relates to a conveyor device with at least one first and second conveyor carriage which are arranged one behind the other in the conveyor direction (F), a cross belt conveyor which is formed on at least the second conveyor carriage for conveying material to be conveyed in a cross conveyor direction (Q) oriented substantially transversely to the conveyor direction (F), and a powertrain brake for the cross belt conveyor. An operating device is arranged on the first conveyor carriage and a brake device is arranged on the second conveyor carriage. The brake device assumes the release state when the first and second conveyor carriage are traveling in a substantially straight manner, and the brake device assumes the brake state when at least one of the conveyor carriages is cornering in order to allow a movement of a cross belt of the cross belt conveyor in a cross conveyor direction (Q) when traveling in a straight manner and brake the movement when cornering.
