A brake caliper and hub bracket assembly for a disc brake of a vehicle, comprising at least one caliper and at least one hub bracket, the brake caliper comprising a caliper body comprising a first elongated element, or vehicle side elongated element, suitable for directly or indirectly facing said first braking surface of the brake disc by at least a first brake pad, and a second elongated element, or wheel side elongated element, opposed to the vehicle side elongated element and suitable for directly or indirectly facing said second braking surface of the brake disc by at least a second brake pad. The vehicle side elongated element comprises at least a first thrust means seat suitable for receiving a piston for exerting a thrust action on the at least first brake pad. The wheel side elongated element comprises at least a second thrust means seat suitable for receiving a piston for exerting a thrust action on the at least second brake pad. The caliper body comprises at least one side caliper bridge suitable for straddling the brake disc, the caliper side bridge connecting the vehicle side elongated element and the wheel side elongated element. The hub bracket comprises a hub bracket body connected to at least one portion of the caliper body, the hub bracket body comprising at least one coupling surface suitable for coupling to at least one bearing for supporting a wheel hub connectable to the brake disc and to a wheel of the vehicle.

A caliper body has a first elongated element facing a first braking surface. The first elongated element has first and second ends. The caliper body has a second elongated element facing a second braking surface. The first elongated element has first and second ends of second elongated element. The first ends of first and second elongated elements face each other. The second ends of first and second elongated elements face each other. The first ends of first and second elongated elements are connected by a first end bridge. The second ends of first and second elongated elements are connected by a second end bridge. The first and second elongated elements are connected by a central bridge. The first or second elongated element has two connecting housings for connection to a support for the caliper body in a vehicle.

A caliper body having first and second braking surfaces, a bracket connecting to a caliper support provided in a vehicle and a floating element supported by the bracket to move along the axial direction. The floating element has a first floating element portion facing the first braking surface. The first floating element portion has a biasing device housing to accommodate a biasing device. The floating element has a first floating element bridge protruding straddling the brake disc and a plate-shaped portion extending on a plane along circumferential and radial directions. The plate-shaped portion has end portions protruding from opposite sides with respect to the first floating element bridge, a second inner plate-shape portion side facing the biasing device, two plate-shaped portion projections protruding from the plate-shaped portion side and having thrust surfaces biasing a second pad against the second braking surface and forming with the plate-shaped portion a ventilation channel.

A brake carrier for a disc brake of a commercial vehicle has an attachment region for fixing on a vehicle axis and at least one pad shaft for receiving and supporting at least one brake pad. The pad shaft is formed by way of an inlet-side carrier horn, an outlet-side carrier horn and a bridge which connects the inlet-side carrier horn and the outlet-side carrier horn. Regions of the bridge which adjoin the carrier horns form bearing surfaces for radially supporting the at least one brake pad. The respective guide contours for guiding the brake pad into a push-in position are arranged to the side of the pad shaft on a side surface of the carrier horns, in which push-in position the brake pad can be pushed axially with respect to the vehicle axle into the pad shaft between the carrier horns.

An antivibration centering ring for centering a foot of the torque tube of an aircraft brake on an axle of the aircraft includes alternating bearing zones that are arranged to bear in alternation on the axle and on the torque tube foot. The bearing zones are offset on their non-bearing sides by functional clearance so that no bearing zone bears simultaneously on the axle and on the foot of the torque tube. The bearing zones are connected to one another by flexible ligaments.

A disc brake and a brake lining for a commercial vehicle are provided. The disc brake includes a brake caliper on a stationary brake carrier and straddling a brake disc. The brake carrier has at least one brake lining space, in particular two brake lining spaces, each of which is delimited by lateral brake carrier lugs and accommodates a brake lining. At least one respective dimensionally stable blocking element is provided as a counter bearing against the insertion direction of the brake pads. The blocking elements are supported on the brake pads and/or or the brake carrier and are held on the brake carrier and/or on the brake pads.

An apparatus for a vehicle is provided that has a spindle sleeve (12) with a spindle sleeve inner surface axis (14) that is coaxial with the axis of an axle (16). The spindle sleeve (12) has a spindle sleeve outer surface axis (20) that is oriented at an angle to the axis of the axle. A hub (28) is present that has a hub axis (30) that is coaxial with the spindle sleeve outer surface axis (20). A rotor (32) is coaxial with the hub axis (30) and brake calipers (34) are carried by the axle. A brake caliper positional correction device (36) is present and is carried by the axle (16) and has a correction surface (38) that carries the brake calipers (34). The correction surface (38) orients the brake calipers (34) such that the brake calipers (34) are properly positioned with respect to the rotor (32).

The aim of the invention is to ensure a reliable lift of both brake pads of a floating-caliper brake (1) after releasing the brake. This is achieved in that a lifting part (20) is hinged to the brake caliper (2) at a hinge point (21), and the lifting part (20) is supported on the support structure (7) at a contact point (23) at least partly at releasing the floating-caliper brake (1), wherein a lift drive (22) is provided which rotates the lifting part (20) about the hinge point (21) such that a support for the lifting part (20) is produced on the contact point (23), whereby the hinge point (21) and the brake caliper (2) are moved.

A brake carrier casting and a method of making a brake carrier casting. The brake carrier casting may have a first side portion and a second side portion that may be connected by a first bridge and a second bridge. The first side portion, second side portion, first bridge, and second bridge may define an opening of the brake carrier casting.
