The invention relates to a method for attenuating vibrations of an aircraft wheel/brake assembly arising during braking, the brake comprising rotor discs (2b) rotationally driven with the wheel by means of bars (5) secured to the wheel and engaging in notches (3b) of the rotor discs, and stator discs (2a) which are kept rotationally immobile by means of tenons (5) secured to a torque tube (1) of the brake and engaged in notches (3a) of the stator discs, the notches having flanks that are protected by brackets (7). The method involves selecting bracket/tenon pair and/or bracket/bar pairs with a coefficient of friction less than or equal to 0.6.

A caliper body which has a wheel-side first portion, a vehicle-side second portion, at least one thrust device housing, and at least one bridge connecting the wheel-side first portion to the vehicle-side second portion is provided. The at least one bridge has at least one ventilation opening and at least one conveying channel fluidically connected to the outside of the caliper body through the at least one ventilation opening. The least one ventilation opening directly faces in an axial direction the inside of the caliper body with the outside of the caliper body to direct heat generated inside the caliper body in an outer axial direction towards the outside of the caliper body and conveyed outside by the at least one conveying channel through the at least one ventilation opening.

Disclosed herein is a caliper brake including a caliper housing provided such that a pressing member moves forward or rearward, a caliper bridge connected to the caliper housing and configured to press an outer brake pad toward a brake disc by a reaction force according to an operation of the pressing member, at least one guide rod fixedly installed in a carrier and configured to guide the sliding movement of the caliper housing and the caliper bridge relative to the carrier, and at least one outer pad spring mounted on a protrusion part formed at a side end of an outer pad plate on which the outer brake pad is fixedly installed and configured to elastically support the outer brake pad on a rear surface of the caliper bridge, wherein the caliper bridge includes an outer pad seat which is provided on the rear surface of the caliper bridge and on which at least portions of the protrusion part and the outer pad spring are seated.

The invention concerns a Brake carrier (10) for disc brake arrangement (11), the disc brake arrangement (11) having brake pads (24) that are displaceable relative to a brake disc (100), wherein the brake carrier (10) is configured to support the brake pads (24) during their displacement; wherein the brake carrier (10) comprises at least a first portion (14) that is arrangeable on a first side (13) of the brake disc (100), a second portion (16) that that is arrangeable on a second side (15) of the brake disc (100) and two connecting portions (18, 20) each connecting the first and second portions (14, 16); wherein at least one of the connecting portions (18, 20) comprises an air channel (12) having a first end (34) that is arranged so as to face towards the brake disc (100). Also disclosed is a disc brake arrangement (11) comprising such a brake carrier (10).

A bicycle braking device includes a caliper, two operation units and two links. Each operation unit is installed to the two respectively threaded holes of the caliper and includes an operation assembly and a ring. Two links are respectively connected to the two operation assemblies. Each operation assembly includes multiple curve slots, and multiple balls are partially rotatably accommodated in each curve slot. Each ring is movably mounted to the core part of each operation assembly and includes multiple spiral grooves. The balls are accommodated in the spiral grooves and the curve slots. When the two links are pivoted by pulling the brake cable, the two core parts are rotated, and the two rings rotatably move to push the linings to clamp the brake disk. The balls ensure the rings to move smoothly so as to precisely clamp the brake disk.

A brake system that includes a fixed brake system, a sliding brake system, and a support structure. The fixed brake system has an inboard side and an outboard side and being operable to move an inboard brake pad and/or an outboard brake pad against a brake rotor to generate a first clamping force. The sliding brake system being operable to move relative to the fixed brake system and to move the inboard brake pad and/or the outboard brake pad against the brake rotor to generate a second clamping force. The support structure providing a sliding contact between the sliding brake system and the fixed brake system during movement of the sliding brake system relative to the fixed brake while generating or releasing the second clamping force. The support structure is located in a region of the outboard side of the fixed brake system.

A brake carrier for receiving brake pads for a disc brake with a brake disc includes a clamping-side bridge strut on a clamping side of the disc brake, and a reaction-side bridge strut on a reaction side of the disc brake arranged parallel to a brake carrier axis. The clamping-side bridge strut and the reaction-side bridge strut are connected together via a first connecting web at a first end of the brake carrier. Also, the clamping-side bridge strut and the reaction-side bridge strut are connected together via a second connecting web at a second end of the brake carrier. The brake carrier has a brake pad receiving side provided with brake carrier horns, and a brake carrier underside.

This disk brake includes an attachment member that has support portions movably supporting a pair of brake pads, and a caliper that pressurizes the brake pads against a disk. The attachment member has outer circumferential frame portions, a coupling beam portion, and support main body portions. The outer circumferential frame portions extend in a disk circumferential direction so as to cover the disk while straddling the disk. The coupling beam portion couples the support portions to each other. The support main body portions form the support portions. The outer frame constituting portions constitute the outer frames of the support main body portions. Positions of disk-axially outward side end surfaces in a disk axial direction are the same as positions of the disk-axially outward side end surfaces of the caliper or on sides outward in the disk axial direction.

A spring device for a disc brake, a pad and spring assembly for a disc brake, a brake caliper, and a disc brake is described. The spring device may have a spring body having prevalently longitudinal development, with at least one coupling portion, to couple in a snapping manner the spring device to a portion of an associable brake caliper in a removable manner. The spring pad assembly may have at least one brake pad having at least one ramp surface, inclined with respect to the radial direction and to the tangential direction, which forms an abutment reference for the at least one thrust surface of the spring device. The at least one ramp surface of the support plate puts in traction the spring device.
