Methods, devices, and systems, for analyzing and managing data generated by a sensor-equipped braking system for vehicles, comprising a support element a block of friction material, at least one sensor interposed between the block of friction material and the support element, comprising at least one central control unit capable of receiving in real time from the sensor means at least the basic data related to one or more of the pressure of the activated braking system, the temperature of the activated braking system, the braking torque, the residual braking torque when the braking system is deactivated, and the wear on the braking system during and after activation thereof. The system can also include one or more auxiliary sensors.

A brake device for a vehicle according to the present disclosure includes: a caliper body configured to surround a brake disc; a pair of brake pads disposed in the caliper body so as to face each other and respectively positioned at two opposite sides of the brake disc; a screw bar installed in the caliper body and configured to be rotatable by power from a motor unit; a nut unit configured to be rectilinearly moved by a rotation of the screw bar; a piston unit configured to surround an outer portion of the nut unit and press any one of the pair of brake pads by moving together with the nut unit; a bearing unit configured to support a rotation of the screw bar and be moved by a repulsive force of the screw bar; and a load switch unit installed in the caliper body, disposed to face the bearing unit, and configured to operate by being pressed by the bearing unit.

An electronic pedal apparatus is configured to perform an electronic pedal function by utilizing a basic configuration and also perform a foldable function by adding some elements to the basic configuration to be usefully used in an autonomous vehicle.

A drum brake assembly that includes a brake drum, first and second brake shoes, a cam shaft, a first tappet, a second tappet, and a wear adjuster mechanism. The wear adjuster mechanism has a cross shaft and a sensor. The sensor is configured to detect rotation of the cross shaft about a longitudinal axis to monitor wear of the first and second brake shoes and a braking surface of the brake drum.

An electronic pedal apparatus is configured to perform an electronic pedal function by utilizing a basic configuration and also perform a foldable function by adding some elements to the basic configuration to be usefully used in an autonomous vehicle.

A brake handle structure for a bicycle contains: at least one body, at least one rotatory arm, at least one brake lever, at least one angle signal sensor, and at least one power failure sensor. The at least one body includes a connection portion, an extension, and an engagement portion. The at least one rotatory arm includes a pulling segment, a coupling orifice, and a receiving orifice. The at least one brake lever includes a fixing segment connected with at least one electromagnetic clutch which includes a bolt attracted electromagnetically by the at least one electromagnetic clutch after conducting a power, and a defining orifice is defined adjacent to the at least one electromagnetic clutch. The at least one angle signal sensor is configured to sense and send a rotating angle of the rotatable column. The at least one power failure sensor has a movable sensing head.

An architecture that provides automatic monitoring of brake conditions making use of a wear pin on a brake. The disclosure makes use of the fact that a wear pin is required to be provided on an aircraft brake, by integrating monitoring functions such as displacement sensors and/or temperature sensors, into the pin. This means that the automatic monitoring components are not taking up more space on the brake than is already taken up by the compulsory wear pin.

An overspeed brake system for use in an elevator powerhead is provided. A brake rotor is attachable to a cable drum to rotate with a cable drum. A brake member selectively engages the brake rotor upon transition of an actuation lever from a first position to a second position. A biasing member acts on the actuation lever to bias the actuation lever from the first position towards the second position. A latch arrangement has a first orientation maintaining the actuation lever in the first position and a second orientation releasing the actuation lever for transitioning from the first position to the second position. The latch arrangement transitions from the first orientation to the second orientation when a speed sensing arrangement senses that the rotational speed of the cable drum is at least a predetermined rotational speed.

Provided is an electric parking brake device which enables a service brake that generates a brake force in accordance with an operation input of a vehicle user and a parking brake that generates a brake force with the function of an electric actuator having operation controlled by a control unit to be obtained. The control unit (C) starts to count in response to an end of detection of the service brake by service brake detection means (66) and stops operation of the control unit (C) after an elapse of a first predetermined time from the start of the count. With this configuration, the load on a battery can be reduced by preventing the control unit from being kept activated for a period of time that is longer than necessary.

A disc brake assembly that includes a brake caliper, a retainer strap, and a sensor assembly. The retainer strap is mounted to the brake caliper and extends across a brake pad assembly. The sensor assembly is mounted to the retainer strap and generates a signal indicative of a position of the brake pad assembly.
