The present invention provides a wheel hub for a vehicle, including: a) a wheel axle defining an axis of rotation for the wheel; b) a hub body rotatably coupled to the axle for rotation about the axis of rotation, the hub body defining an internal cavity; and, c) a braking assembly, including: i) at least one first annular plate disposed within the internal cavity about the axle, the at least one first annular plate rotatably fixed with respect to the hub body so as to rotate therewith about the axis of rotation; ii) at least one second annular plate disposed within the internal cavity about the axle and adjacent to the at least one first annular plate, the at least one second annular plate rotatably fixed with respect to the axle, and at least one of the first and second annular plates being slidably movable within at least part of the internal cavity; and, iii) an actuator disposed within the internal cavity and configured in use, to cause an axial load to be applied to the slidably movable plate to thereby cause the at least one first and second annular plates to frictionally engage thereby applying a braking load between the hub body and wheel axle so as to brake the wheel of the vehicle.

A brake assembly for an electric motor includes: a magnetic body, a winding, a bolt, a housing part with a brake surface, an armature disk, a brake pad plate, a shaft, a spring part, and a first bushing. The housing part is connected to the magnetic body by the bolt, with a positive fit in at least the circumferential direction. The first bushing is accommodated in a second bushing. The spring part supported on the housing part presses the first bushing and/or the second bushing toward the magnetic body. The radial clearance range covered by the armature disk includes the radial clearance range covered by the second bushing, and the axial region covered by the armature disk includes the axial region covered by the second bushing.

An actuator element is provided for a parking brake that has a mechanically acting actuating mechanism and that can be coupled via a shiftable clutch device to a pump drive of a hydraulic system of a primary assembly by means of a shiftable clutch device in order to activate the parking brake

A braking system for a motor housing is provided. In one example, braking system comprises a double disk brake configuration arranged in a motor housing. A working position of the double disk brake is configured to automatically adjust based on a condition of a friction pad of a friction disk.

An output shaft is configured by connecting a first shaft and a second shaft, coaxially arranged with each other, by a reverse input cutoff clutch 20; an end portion on one side in an axial direction of the second shaft located on an opposite side from the first shaft with a gear portion sandwiched in between in the axial direction being rotatably supported with respect to a fixed portion by a bearing device; the reverse input cutoff clutch having a function that, when rotational torque is input to the first shaft, transmits the rotational torque input to the first shaft to the second shaft, and when rotational torque is reversely input to the second shaft, completely cuts off the rotational torque reversely input to the second shaft and does not transmit the rotational torque to the first shaft, or transmits part of the rotational torque to the first shaft and cuts off the remaining portion.

A brake disc release device, a turning device, and an elevator rescue package and method. The brake disc release device comprises: an actuating mechanism; a gear connected to a first end of the actuating mechanism; a first slider capable of sliding along a first guide piece and comprising a rack portion for engagement with the gear and a first wedge portion; a second slider capable of sliding along a second guide piece and comprising a second wedge portion for engagement with the first wedge portion of the first slider; and a pulling cable having a first end connected to the second slider and a second end connected to the brake disc.

The invention relates to a parking brake for a motor vehicle, including a pivotable locking mechanism for applying a retaining force to a parking brake gear. The locking mechanism can lock into the parking brake gear by means of an axially movable first actuation unit. According to the invention, the first actuation unit is designed as a spring-loaded cam follower. The invention also relates to an operating method for locking and unlocking the parking brake.

An actuator gearbox includes a drive shaft including a plurality of gear linkages that are spaced apart along the drive shaft, and a plurality of output shafts adjacent respective ones of the plurality of gear linkages. Each of the gear linkages includes a fixed gear coupled to one of the plurality of output shafts and a moving gear that is slideably coupled to the drive shaft. A bias spring is coupled to the moving gear to urge the moving gear out of engagement with the fixed gear. The mechanical switch moves the moving gear into engagement with the fixed gear on the output shaft adjacent the linkage to thereby cause the output shaft to rotate in response to rotation of the drive shaft.

A personal mobility vehicle, such as a scooter, includes at least one battery and motor for powering at least one driven wheel. The vehicle also includes a braking assembly configured to isolate the motor from the at least one driven wheel such that power is terminated from the motor to the at least one wheel in response to a user engaging a braking assembly of the vehicle. The vehicle can include a switch or position sensor that interacts with the braking assembly to initiate the isolation of the motor from the at least one driven wheel and the switch or position sensor preferably is inaccessible to the foot of the user.

A method for manufacturing a disc brake, the disc brake having a brake caliper and a brake actuation mechanism being supported in it, in which the brake actuation mechanism includes an amplification mechanism for introducing a clamping force, an adjustment device for compensation of lining wear with a torque clutch, a thrust element for transmitting the clamping force onto a brake disc and a reset device, which components are arranged around a rod, in which the torque clutch is formed as a roller-ramp-mechanism. A spring force can act onto the torque clutch by means of the reset device thereby forming a torque limit.
