A brake caliper has a fixed seat. The fixed seat has a first brake lining and a second brake lining. The fixed seat further has a first piston and a second piston that can be pushed by hydraulic oil. A movable seat is slidably disposed on the fixed seat. The movable seat has a link portion that can link the first brake lining and a drive unit that can push the second piston mechanically. The first piston and the second piston can be pushed hydraulically to drive the first brake lining and the second brake lining for braking. The drive unit pushes the second piston to drive the second brake lining, and pushes the movable seat to drive the first brake lining for braking.

A suspension device of a motor-vehicle wheel includes a support member of the motor-vehicle wheel connectable to the motor-vehicle structure by means of one or more suspension members, a brake disc connected in rotation with the motor-vehicle wheel, a brake caliper associated with the brake disc and a brake disc cover. The brake caliper is formed in a single piece with the support member of the motor-vehicle wheel by means of additive manufacturing technology.

A mounting for a guide pin of a disc brake and method of mounting. A mounting portion of a guide pin may have a first polygonal cross-sectional profile. A receiving portion of a brake carrier may receive the mounting portion and may have cross-sectional profile that is different than the first polygonal cross-sectional profile.

A brake pad may have at least one plate. The plate may be provided with a first slot. The first slot may have a first slot edge adapted to accommodate a first pin. The first slot edge may have a first portion and a second portion, in which the brake pad has a tangential center-of-gravity plane. The first and second portions may be crossed by the tangential center-of-gravity plane so that under a reverse braking condition the brake pad rests against the first pin in at least a first contact point of the first slot. Under a forward braking condition the brake pad rests against the first pin in at least a second contact point of the first slot in which the second contact point of first slot lies in the tangential center-of-gravity plane.

A guide pin for a floating-type brake caliper of a disc brake where the brake caliper may have a caliper body and a bracket. The guide pin may be configured to be placed between the caliper body and the bracket. The guide pin is configured to connect to a guide sleeve and slide at least partially within the guide sleeve. The guide pin may have a first pin coupling portion. The guide pin may also have a pin sliding portion to guide the guide pin into a sliding housing formed in either the caliper body or the bracket. The guide pin may also have a second pin coupling portion. The first pin coupling portion is arranged between the second pin coupling portion and the pin sliding portion. The first pin coupling portion is threaded to form a threaded coupling between the guide pin and the guide sleeve.

A brake pad may have at least one plate and at least one friction material supported by the plate. The friction material surface may have a barycenter. The plate may have a first slot and a second slot. The first slot may have a first slot edge adapted to accommodate a first pin mounted on the caliper body. The second slot may have a second slot edge adapted to accommodate a second pin mounted on the caliper body. In a forward braking condition, the brake pad rests on the first pin with a first slot first portion, and the brake pad rests on the second pin with a second slot first portion. The first slot is arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the barycenter and the second slot is arranged in a radially inner position with respect to the barycenter. The first slot and the second slot may be radially external with respect to a barycenter circumference centered on a rotation axis and passing through a barycenter.

Provided is a caliper brake pad spring applying load to a brake pad in a set position. A spring mounting unit is mounted on a window of a caliper body. Spring pressing units extend from both sides of the spring mounting unit in one direction to apply load to a brake pad by pressing the brake pad.

The present disclosure relates to a force transmission apparatus for a disc brake, The apparatus comprises an actuation element, a brake liner arrangement having a brake liner and a carrier plate, and a pressure element. The pressure element has a thickness which extends toward the actuation direction, a length extending in a tangential direction of an associated brake disc in an installed state and a width which extends in a radial direction of an associated brake disc in the installed state. The pressure element has a force input side operationally connected to the actuation element and a force output side. The force output side has contact regions spaced apart from each other and operationally connected to the carrier plate. The force output side has a region which is recessed into the pressure element. The recessed region has a first reinforcement web which connects the contact regions to each other such that the first reinforcement web is not recessed or is recessed less than the recessed region.

The disclosure illustrates and describes a guide element which extends from a first end via a guide portion to a second end. The guide element has a fixing portion arranged at the second end and extending along a first extent direction, which runs transversely with respect to the axial direction, to a free end. The guide element has a connecting portion between the guide portion and the fixing portion. The connecting portion extends along a second extent direction, which runs transversely with respect to the axial direction and transversely with respect to the second extent direction, and extends along the axial direction from a first plane, which runs perpendicular to the axial direction, to a second plane, which runs perpendicular to the axial direction. The fixing portion is spaced apart in an axial direction both from the first plane and from the second plane. The disclosure furthermore relates to a corresponding brake anchor and to a corresponding disk brake system.

A brake caliper arrangement includes a housing, a restoring device, a first brake lining arrangement and a second brake lining arrangement. The first brake lining arrangement and the second brake lining arrangement can be moved relative to one another from a respective starting position with a reduction of an initial spacing which exists between them. The restoring device includes first and second restoring elements. The first restoring element may prestress the first brake lining arrangement into its starting position, while the second restoring element may prestress the second brake lining arrangement into its starting position. The first and/or second restoring elements may be supported, on both sides of a central region of the brake lining arrangement, on the associated brake lining arrangement. The first and/or second restoring elements may be twisted elastically at least in sections in order to generate the prestress.
