The invention relates to a method for operating a combined clutch and brake device (5) of a punch press (1) equipped with dry friction linings (7, 8). Thereby, the friction linings (7, 8) are arranged in a chamber (R) which is sealed off from the environment of the punch press (1), and which is filled with a dry and oil-free gaseous medium, in particular with dry oil-free air. This effectively prevents moisture and oil mist from entering the region of the friction linings from the environment of the press, and a constant friction coefficient can be achieved over the mechanical service life of the friction linings.

A brake assembly for a wheel on a vehicle includes a brake disc, a caliper assembly operably coupled to the brake disc, a brake line fluidly coupled to the caliper assembly, and a brake shield positioned adjacent a portion of the caliper assembly. The brake shield includes a first arm positioned on a first side of a portion of the brake disc and a second arm positioned on a second side of the portion of the brake disc. The brake disc further includes a recess configured to receive a portion of the brake line.

A vehicle caliper cover set includes a plurality of caliper covers. Each caliper cover includes an inner surface sized and configured to be complementary in shape to an outer surface of one of the plurality of calipers. Each caliper cover further includes an outer surface having a medial portion and a lateral portion positioned in opposed relation to the medial portion. The inner and outer surfaces define a thickness therebetween, with the thickness being between 0.015-0.150 inches. Each caliper cover additionally includes a multi-sided opening extending from the inner surface to the outer surface, with the multi-sided opening being positioned between the medial and lateral portions of the outer surface.

A caliper cover assembly and a production method thereof are provided. The caliper cover assembly includes a first bracket, a second bracket, and buckles; the first bracket and the second bracket are respectively integrally formed with the caliper cover body; the first bracket and the second bracket are symmetrically disposed, and are respectively provided with an installation hole; the buckles are provided in two; the two buckles are symmetrically and separately disposed on the first bracket and the second bracket, and fixedly connected with the first bracket or the second bracket through bolts passing through the installation holes respectively. Therefore, effects of a stable structure, a thermal conductivity, a convenient installation and a safety in use are achieved.

A heat-dissipating car caliper cover comprising a cover body and a fixing member for fixing the cover body to a car caliper, wherein a first arc-shaped side plate is provided on an outer side of the cover body, a second arc-shaped side plate is provided on an inner side of the cover body, the fixing member is provided on the first arc-shaped side plate, a heat transmission assembly is provided on the first arc-shaped side plate, and the heat transmission assembly comprises an elastic pressing sheet and a silicone sheet provided on the elastic pressing sheet; and when the cover body is fixed to the car caliper, the elastic pressing sheet can contact the silicone sheet with a pump body outer side wall of the car caliper, and conducts heat to the cover body for heat dissipation.

A retainer assembly may comprise: a retainer main body having a first mounting flange, a second mounting flange, a body portion, a first rib and a second rib, the body portion extending from the first mounting flange to the second mounting flange, the first rib extending from the second mounting flange towards the first mounting flange, the second rib extending from the second mounting flange towards the first mounting flange, the first rib and the second rib extending orthogonal to the body portion; and a retainer sleeve having a first slot extending from the first axial end towards the second axial end and a second slot extending from the first axial end towards the second axial end, a portion of the first rib disposed in the first slot, and a portion of the second rib disposed in the second slot.

A cover panel (1) for a disc brake (2) for covering an installation opening (5) of the disc brake (2), wherein the disc brake (2) comprises a brake carrier (13) and a brake caliper (3) sliding on the brake carrier (13) axially in the direction of an application side (Z) or axially in the direction of a rim side (F).

A retainer for a segmented annular heat shield of a wheel includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a body extending between the first end and the second end. Both the first end and the second end are configured to be coupled to at least one of the wheel and a torque bar. Further, the body includes opposing longitudinal sides configured to respectively engage and secure a respective heat shield segment of the segmented annular heat shield. Also, the retainer includes a cover coupled to and extending over at least the body, with an air gap being defined between the body and the cover.

A fixing structure of an automobile caliper cover is used for fixing a caliper cover body to an automobile caliper. The fixing structure includes a first fixing member and a second fixing member. The first fixing member includes a connection bracket, a first bent portion fixedly connected to the connection bracket, and a second bent portion cooperating with the first bent portion and fixing the connection bracket to the car caliper; and the first bent portion and the second bent portion are fixedly connected; and/or the second fixing member includes a connection bracket and a fixing buckle fixedly connected to the connection bracket, in which the fixing buckle is used for fixing the connection bracket to the automobile caliper. The connection bracket has at least one bent portion to enhance a strength of the connection bracket and facilitate fastening installation of the connection bracket.

A dust shield for a disc brake assembly of a heavy-duty vehicle, the dust shield comprising a central portion and a substantially flat portion. The flat portion is integrally formed with and extends radially outward from the central portion. The central portion extends axially inboard of and forms a flange axially-offset from and parallel to the flat portion to act as a stiffening rib to increase the natural frequency of the dust shield.
