A disc brake assembly having brake pads, a brake carrier, a caliper, and an actuating arrangement. The caliper is slidable with respect to the brake carrier for clamping and release of a rotor by the brake pads. The actuating arrangement is configured to selectively move the caliper and the brake carrier relative to each other generally transverse to a first longitudinal axis so as to lock or inhibit sliding of the caliper relative to the carrier.

A brake caliper device adapted to be used with a brake disk includes a positioning unit, a main body unit, a lining unit, and an actuating unit. The positioning unit includes a positioning member that is adapted to be fixed to a vehicle body, two upper guiding members and a lower guiding member that is lower than the upper guiding members. The upper and lower guiding members are connected to the positioning member and extend along an axial direction parallel to a central axis of the brake disk. The main body unit is movably connected to the upper and lower guiding members. The actuating unit is operable to move the main body unit, thereby driving the lining unit to clamp the brake disk.

This motor device is provided with, e.g.: a motor having a motor case and a shaft supported by the motor case so as to be capable of rotating about a rotation center; a housing in which the motor is housed; and an elastic member interposed between the motor case and the housing. A first concave part in communication with both sides of the elastic member in the axial direction is provided between the outer peripheral surface of the elastic member and a cylindrical surface of the housing.

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.

A rotationally symmetrical bellows has a first end ring and a second end ring with a smaller diameter, and multiple folds, which in a relaxed position each have two flanks running in opposite directions with respect to one another while forming a bend. The flanks extend approximately parallel to an axis of rotation of the bellows. The rotationally symmetrical bellows is designed such that in a relaxed position of the bellows, the second end ring is arranged at an axial distance to the first end ring.

A caliper guide assembly, a heavy vehicle disc brake having a caliper guide assembly, a sleeve for a caliper guide assembly, and a method of manufacture. The caliper guide assembly comprises a guide pin, a caliper, and a sleeve. The sleeve is configured to crease upon contraction of the sleeve along a longitudinal axis thereof.

A disc brake device in which a moment acts on a pad in a direction in which a rotation-in side portion is pushed up toward a radially outer side during braking, including the pad including a pin insertion portion and a clip insertion portion, a pad support member, including a pin inserted into the pin insertion portion in an axial direction, and supporting the pad so that the pad is movable in the axial direction, and a pad clip, including a pad pressing portion inserted into the clip insertion portion in the axial direction, and configured to press the pad radially outward. The pad clip is configured to apply a pressing force to the pad so that a radially inner side portion of an inner peripheral surface of the pin insertion portion is pressed against a radially inner side portion of the pin.

A brake apparatus for a vehicle may include: a pair of pin members installed in a caliper body so as to be spaced apart from each other; a first brake pad movably coupled to the pair of pin members, and contactable with a brake disk; a second brake pad coupled to the pair of pin members so as to be spaced apart from the first brake pad, and contactable with the brake disk; a pressing part installed in the caliper body, and pressing the first brake pad to bring the first and second brake pads into contact with the brake disk; and a pad liner installed on the pair of pin members, and providing an elastic restoring force to the first and second brake pads such that the first and second brake pads are restored to the original state when the pressing of the pressing part is released.

Disclosed are a boot for a caliper brake and the caliper brake including the same. The boot, which is provided to be installed on a guide rod to allow a caliper housing to be slidably coupled to a carrier during braking, includes a first coupling part coupled to the guide rod at one end thereof, and a second coupling part coupled to the carrier at the other end thereof, wherein the second coupling part is provided with an elastic protrusion provided to be in contact with an outer surface of the guide rod so that a reaction force is generated by the guide rod moving together with the caliper housing during braking.

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.
