A pneumatically or electromechanically actuated disk brake includes a brake disk having a preferred direction of rotation in forward travel, a brake carrier extending around the brake disk, a brake caliper extending around the brake disk, a fastening-side brake pad with a friction material, an application device having a pressure-exerting device on one side of the brake disk, and a rim-side brake pad with friction material. A fastening-side line of gravity, in the rest state of the brake, is arranged with a predetermined first offset with respect to a central axis in the direction of the entry side of the brake disk in the preferred direction of rotation. A rim-side line of gravity is arranged either with a predetermined second offset with respect to the central axis, the second offset being unequal to the first offset, or with a third offset with respect to the central axis.

An electric parking brake includes a driving shaft, an actuator, first and second braking members, and first and second linings. The driving shaft has a threaded portion threadedly engaging the first braking member such that, through operation of the actuator, the first lining is driven by the first braking member to move toward a side surface of a brake disk in a direction to thereby move the second braking member to move toward an opposite side surface of the brake disk in an opposite direction, so that the first and second linings are moved toward each other to clamp the brake disk therebetween.

A disc brake boot and a disc brake including the same are provided. The disc brake boot includes: a main body formed with a hollow that runs lengthwise through which a guide rod passes and is coupled; a first outer projection that is formed on an outer side of the main body in such a way as to protrude a set distance from one edge of the main body, along the perimeter of the main body; and a second outer projection that is formed on the outer side of the main body in such a way as to protrude a set distance along the perimeter of the main body, spaced apart from the first outer projection.

A disc brake assembly for a motor vehicle braking system comprising a backing plate which has at least one borehole that defines a first longitudinal axis, and a guide pin which is arranged in the borehole and is designed to movably mount the brake caliper relative to the backing plate, wherein the guide pin defines a second longitudinal axis and the disc brake assembly further comprises a protective bellows which at least partially surrounds the regions of the guide pin that project from the borehole. The protective bellows has a guide section which is designed to displaceably guide the guide pin in such a way that the second longitudinal axis of the guide pin is offset relative to the first longitudinal axis of the borehole.

The present invention relates to a commercial vehicle disc brake caliper assembly comprising a caliper body and a left guide pin component, right guide pin component, the main adjuster mechanism assembly, the driven adjuster unit are all mounted on the caliper body. The adjuster mechanism assembly adopts a gear clutch structure with anti-overload function; the driven adjuster unit adopts a circlip structure; the main adjuster assembly and the driven adjuster unit is connected by sprocket chain. The bottom of the main adjuster assembly and the bottom of the driven adjuster unit are connected to the three thread calibration bolt, which connected with bridage, the bridage are arranged inside of the brake caliper. The invention overcomes the problems which may occur during braking, such as uneven braking force, failure of clearance adjustment, deformation of adjuster mechanism, failure of braking, etc.

A brake assembly having a guide pin assembly that slidably couples a brake caliper to a brake carrier. The guide pin assembly may include a resilient member that extends between a bushing and a sleeve. The sleeve may be mounted to the brake carrier. The brake caliper may be slidable along the bushing.

The present disclosure relates to the location of a disc brake caliper mounted to a trailing-link suspension fork. In one aspect, the disc brake caliper is attached to a sprung portion of the fork, hence adding zero mass and corresponding inertia to the un-sprung portion of the suspension system. Further, the disc brake caliper is positioned forward of the wheel axle and linkage member.

A braking device for vehicle comprises a splash guard which is a plate-like member arranged to closely face a friction portion of a circular disk-shaped rotor with a wheel axis as a rotation center so as to be mounted on a knuckle, wherein the splash guard includes a fixing plate fixed to the knuckle, a wall with holes extending from the fixing plate towards the rotor, and a plurality of cooling holes which are through-holes passing through the wall with holes, wherein the plurality of cooling holes are open along the wall with holes, and an opening area of each cooling hole formed on an upper side of the wheel axis is set to be smaller than an opening area of a cooling hole formed on a lower side of the wheel axis.

A brake caliper housing and a method of checking sealing of a brake caliper housing. The brake caliper housing may include a cavity, a guide pin opening, and an internal passage. The guide pin opening may receive a guide pin that facilitates sliding movement of the brake caliper housing. The internal passage may extend from the cavity to the guide pin opening.

A caliper guide assembly and a method of manufacture. The guide assembly may include a guide pin, a guide bore arranged to receive the guide pin and permit relative axial sliding thereof, a bush arranged to define at least part of the guide bore, and a sensor arrangement configured to provide an output indicative of a state of wear of the bush.
