Self-tolerance compensating S-cam brake system and vehicle having the same
An S-cam brake system having is disclosed. The system includes a roller assembly, an S-cam, a shoe, and an S-cam brake. The roller assembly is configured to allow relative movement between a roller and a roller pin. The roller assembly is interposed between the S-cam and the shoe. Relative movement between a roller and a roller pin can compensates a defect in machining the outer contact surface of the S-cam roller or a defect in concentricity of roller seating depressions of the shoe.
Orbital clutch and brake assembly for C-arm of imaging system
A device is provided. The device includes an orbital clutch and brake assembly configured to couple to a C-arm rotation device that enables the C-arm to rotate in an orbital direction relative to the C-arm rotation device. The orbital clutch and brake assembly includes a housing, a roller, and a brake pad. The roller and brake pad are disposed within the housing. The brake pad is configured to directly contact the roller and to not contact the C-arm when the orbital clutch and brake assembly applies a braking force to the C-arm.
Unidirectional Rotary Brake
A unidirectional rotary brake contains: a body, multiple rollers, two driving rings, and at least one returning means. The body includes an internal face and two end faces, wherein the internal face has multiple accommodation grooves, each accommodation groove has a locking segment and a unlocking segment, and each end face has a surrounding groove. Each of the multiple rollers is columnar and has a diameter which is more than the first depth of the locking segment of each accommodation groove of the body and is less than a second depth of the unlocking segment of each accommodation groove of the body, and each roller has two limiting posts. Each of the multiple orifices is more than each of the two limiting posts and is less than the diameter of each roller. A number of the at least one returning means is less than that of the multiple rollers.
SELF-TOLERANCE COMPENSATING S-CAM BRAKE SYSTEM AND VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME
An S-cam brake system having is disclosed. The system includes a roller assembly, an S-cam, a shoe, and an S-cam brake. The roller assembly is configured to allow relative movement between a roller and a roller pin. The roller assembly is interposed between the S-cam and the shoe. Relative movement between a roller and a roller pin can compensates a defect in machining the outer contact surface of the S-cam roller or a defect in concentricity of roller seating depressions of the shoe.
BRAKING OR CLUTCH ASSEMBLY FOR ROTATING SHAFTS
A braking assembly is disclosed comprising a shaft, a brake cage being rotatable with the shaft, an earth ring extending circumferentially around the brake cage, at least one engagement member coupled to the shaft, and a braking mechanism configured for selectively applying a force to the brake cage for slowing or preventing rotational movement of the brake cage such that the shaft rotates relative to the brake cage, and wherein the braking assembly is configured such that when the shaft rotates relative to the brake cage, said at least one engagement member is urged to engage the earth ring such that rotation of the shaft is inhibited or prevented. The earth ring may be replaced with an output shaft such that the assembly operates as a clutch assembly.
No-back mechanism
A no-back brake mechanism or a torque limiter mechanism, comprising a plurality of rollers each mounted within a respective roller cage, the roller cages being articulated about an axis such that rotation of the rollers in a first direction causes no movement of the cages about their axis and rotation of the rollers in a second direction opposite the first direction causes the cages to rotate with respect to their axis.
ORBITAL CLUTCH AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY FOR C-ARM OF IMAGING SYSTEM
A device is provided. The device includes an orbital clutch and brake assembly configured to couple to a C-arm rotation device that enables the C-arm to rotate in an orbital direction relative to the C-arm rotation device. The orbital clutch and brake assembly includes a housing, a roller, and a brake pad. The roller and brake pad are disposed within the housing. The brake pad is configured to directly contact the roller and to not contact the C-arm when the orbital clutch and brake assembly applies a braking force to the C-arm.
Wear detection systems and methods
A wear detection device is disclosed herein. The wear detection device may comprise: a housing including a transparent tube, the housing configured to receive a photoconductive fluid; a first casing disposed at a first end of the housing; and a power source disposed in the first casing, the power source configured to power a transmitter in response to the transparent tube being exposed to light. An electrical circuit may be closed in response to an entire length of the transparent tube being exposed to light or only a portion of the transparent tube being exposed to the light.
ELECTROMECHANICAL BRAKE SYSTEM
An electromechanical brake system includes a linear motion mechanism configured to convert the rotation transmitted from the electric motor to a linear motion, thereby pressing a friction pad against a brake disk; a linear motion mechanism housing in which the linear motion mechanism is received as a single assembly with the components of the linear motion mechanism assembled together; and a caliper body shaped to extend across the outer periphery of the brake disk. The caliper body includes a claw portion axially supporting a friction pad; a housing-fixing plate which is arranged on the side of the linear motion mechanism housing opposite from the brake disk; and an outer shell portion through which the claw portion and the housing-fixing plate are coupled together.
Disc brake having an electromechanical actuator
The present disclosure relates to a disc brake having an electromechanical actuator for vehicles, in particular for utility vehicles, comprising a brake disc, a brake carrier and a brake caliper of a vehicle for applying the brake disc by means of brake linings. Current tests have shown that the tappet after assembly is not fixed correctly in a housing of the electromechanical actuator. The tappet may after positioning fall out of the rotary lever, which results in the force transmission for applying the brake disc being interrupted and the brake disc not being able to be applied. An object of the present disclosure is to overcome the problems from the prior art and to provide a disc brake with an electromechanical actuator which reduces or even prevents damage to the tappet, the cam disc and the housing of the electromechanical actuator.
