An electric drum brake for a rotatable element of a passenger motor vehicle. The drum brake has a brake drum and a brake surface which is connected rotationally conjointly to the brake drum, and also an electromagnet arrangement, wherein multiple brake shoes can be pushed against the brake drum by the electromagnet arrangement, and wherein the drum brake has a preloading arrangement which preloads the electromagnet arrangement into a position spaced apart from the brake surface.

An interconnected multiple disk brake for a rotatable element with an integrated sensor which is based on the rotation of a sensor disk.

According to at least one embodiment, the present disclosure provides an electromechanical brake comprising: a motor for generating driving force; a piston coupled to the motor and configured to be movable; a brake pad connected to the piston; a wheel disk configured to come into contact with the brake pad to generate a braking force; a sensor unit including a position sensor for measuring a position of the piston and a current sensor for measuring a current value flowing through the motor; and a control unit (ECU: Electronic Control Unit) which determines a limit current value of the motor according to the position of the piston, generates a braking force based on the position sensor within the limit current value, and generates a braking force based on the current sensor when out of the limit current value.

A brake pedal module for a brake-by-wire brake system of a vehicle is disclosed, having a carrier component for securing the brake pedal module on the vehicle, a brake pedal pivotably mounted on the carrier component, and a damping unit for producing a resistance during actuation of the brake pedal. The damping unit has an insert, which comprises at least one elastic element. A receptacle for the insert is formed on the carrier component, which receptacle forms a housing of the damping unit and into which the insert is inserted.

An actuation unit includes an actuating arm pivotable between an open and closed position; a pneumatic cylinder comprising a stem movable linearly along a cylinder axis and configured to control pivoting of the actuating arm; and a closing device that includes a braking unit configured to brake movement of the actuating arm having a surface portion configured to come into contact with at least one braking assembly. The braking assembly is locked against rotation and axially movable between a non-braking and braking configuration. The surface portion is in a non-orthogonal arrangement with respect to the cylinder axis and the braking assembly includes a plurality of rollers retained in the braking assembly with clearance at least with respect to a radial movement thereof, the rollers being able to assume a first radial configuration not in contact with the surface portion and a second radial configuration in contact with the surface portion.

A pole wheel is provided. The pole wheel can be mounted on a brake disk of a vehicle wheel brake. The pole wheel has apertures which are uniformly distributed over its circumference and which are spaced apart from one another by radial webs. The pole wheel has an axially protruding bulge radially above its apertures and radial webs.

A brake actuator system may comprise a brake actuator comprising a ball screw, a ball nut coupled to the ball screw, and a ram coupled to a ram end of the ball nut; a position sensor coupled to the brake actuator; a processor in electronic communication with the brake actuator and the position sensor; and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The operations may comprise commanding the brake actuator to translate the ball nut in a first direction toward a brake stack; detecting the pusher reaching a furthest forward position; and commanding the brake actuator to translate the ball nut in a second direction opposite the first direction for a predetermined retraction distance.

An electro-hydraulic actuator includes: a motor output rotative power; an external gear pump activated by the motor; a hydraulic actuator operated by a pressurized working fluid supplied by the external gear pump; a manifold block in which a flow channel forming a working fluid circuit of the hydraulic actuator is incorporated; a first portion to store the motor; a second portion to store the external gear pump, the hydraulic actuator, and a reservoir; and a coupling portion to couple the first portion and the second portion in a liquid-tight state. The coupling portion includes a communication hole through which the first portion and the second portion communicate, a rotational shaft of the motor and a driving shaft of the external gear pump are joined to each other, and the external gear pump is attached to the coupling portion while being stored in the manifold block.

The present invention relates to a measuring device with a magnetic field sensor for detecting at least one operating parameter of an agricultural joint shaft for torque transmission between a power take-off shaft of a towing vehicle and a transmission of an agricultural appliance, which includes at least one journal cross, to the opposing journals of which a shaft body is connected, and a protective tube rotatably accommodating the shaft body therein, wherein the magnetic field sensor is adapted to measure a magnetic field emanating from the bare shaft body of the joint shaft.

Some embodiments relate to an electro-mechanical actuator that includes a screw, structurally segregated (split) housings, first and second nuts coupled to the screw, a sensor assembly, a plurality of motors, and a controller. The first nut is coupled to a first mounting point, and the second nut is coupled to a second mounting point. The sensor assembly may generate signals indicative of (e.g., relative) positions of left and right units of the actuator or positions of the first nut and the second nut on the screw. The controller controls the motors based on the signals generated by the sensor assembly. The motors may rotate each nut about a screw axis of the screw. This rotation results in one or both nuts moving along the screw. Movement between the first nut and the second nut along the screw adjusts a distance between the first mounting point and the second mounting point.
