A brake apparatus for a vehicle may include: a drive unit configured to generate a rotational force in forward and reverse directions, a piston unit configured to be moved forward and backward in conjunction with the rotational force generated from the drive unit, a transfer gear unit configured to transfer the rotational force generated from the drive unit to the piston unit, a parking gear unit configured to be rotated together with the transfer gear unit, a locking unit arranged in a manner that faces the parking gear unit, fastened to the parking gear unit when braking for parking is performed, thereby limiting a rotation of the parking gear unit and an unlocking unit separating the parking gear unit and the locking unit from each other when the rotational force is generated in the reverse direction from the drive unit.

Safety brakes for circular saw blades, circular saws that include the safety brakes, and methods of operating circular saws are disclosed herein. The safety brakes include a sensor assembly, a brake assembly, and an actuator assembly. The sensor assembly is configured to detect an actuation parameter and to generate a trigger signal responsive to detection of the actuation parameter. The brake assembly includes a brake cam and a brake pad. The brake cam is configured to selectively transition between a disengaged configuration and an engaged configuration and is configured to operatively engage a planar side surface of the circular saw blade. The brake pad includes a pad friction material and is positioned such that the pad friction material faces toward the brake cam. The actuator assembly is configured to selectively transition the brake cam from the disengaged configuration to the engaged configuration responsive to receipt of the trigger signal.

A caster wheel brake system for carts and other wheeled articles is operable to secure caster wheels against rolling rotation along their horizontal rotation axes. The system includes a pivotable parking brake lever, an actuator arm, and a torque shaft extending between the brake lever and actuator arm. The brake lever includes a distal end portion for selectively engaging a caster wheel, a proximal end portion opposite the distal end portion, and a pivot coupling, the latter being pivotably secured to the cart or wheeled article. An actuator arm extends outwardly from a distal end portion of the torque shaft, with the actuator arm slidably engaging the proximal end portion of the brake lever. The torque shaft and the actuator arm are rotatable together to urge the brake lever toward the braking or non-braking position

A floating caliper (2) for a disc brake comprises a first half-caliper (10), which houses a reaction piston (50), a second half-caliper (12), which houses an action piston (90) and locking means for locking the action piston (90) in a preset parking position. The reaction piston (50) is elastically yielding when the braking action acting on it exceeds a preset parking action threshold which corresponds to said parking position wherein the locking means lock the action piston (90).

A spring brake actuator for applying a brake of a vehicle includes a housing containing a diaphragm that separates the housing into first and second chambers. A clutch actuator device is for selectively compressing a compression spring such that the spring brake actuator is operable in a plurality of states including a parking state, driving state, and a braking state.

A brake locking apparatus for locking the position of a brake pad in a vehicle, the brake locking apparatus may include: a housing; a first rotating member including: a first body part inside the housing configured to rotate in conjunction with movement of the brake pad, and a first protrusion including a first support surface extending radially outwardly from a first side of the first body part, wherein the first body part is cylindrical; and an elastic member including: a spring part positioned on a circumferential side of the first body part and having an outer circumferential surface adjacent an inner surface of the housing, and a first bent part bent inwardly at a first end of the spring part to elastically support the first support surface.

The present disclosure relates to a brake actuator unit and to an electromechanical brake. The brake actuator unit has a spindle, which is driven in rotation by an electric motor, and a brake piston in the form of a spindle nut, which surrounds the spindle and is configured to press against a brake lining.

A brake device for a railway vehicle includes: a regular electric motor having a rotatable regular-side rotor; a transmission shaft member extending from the regular electric motor in the direction of the rotation axis of the regular-side rotor and rotated by the rotational force output from the regular-side rotor; a conversion mechanism attached to the transmission shaft member and configured to convert the rotational motion of the transmission shaft member into linear motion; friction members configured to receive the linear motion to be pressed against a brake-applied member of the railway vehicle, so as to brake the railway vehicle; and a security power unit attached to the transmission shaft member and configured to output the rotational force to the transmission shaft member.
