A spring brake actuator has a combined housing including a first housing, a second housing, and connection part connecting the first housing and the second housing. Gas inlet ports are disposed along the circumference of the combined housing in a gas inlet port section. A mechanical connection section is disposed in the same axial space as the gas inlet portion section. A bayonet connection is arranged in the mechanical connection section, with gas inlet ports disposed between the bayonet elements. Port connectors may extend through recesses or holes and be threaded into the gas inlet ports, and which may block the bayonet connection and block relative rotation between the first and second housings. The connection part may include a ring shaped protrusion form fit with a protruding of the second housing, with the bayonet elements disposed at the opposite end of the connection part engaged with the first housing.

A parking mechanism that includes a wheel disc, a wedge disc, and a drive assembly. An axis of the wheel disc and an axis of the wedge disc both are aligned with an axis of a motor shaft. A wedge groove with an opening facing the wheel disc is formed on a surface of the wedge disc facing the wheel disc, and a movable part in contact with the wheel disc is disposed in the wedge groove. In a direction from a bottom of the wedge groove to the wheel disc, a groove depth at a first end of the wedge groove is greater than a size of the movable part, and a groove depth at a second end of the wedge groove is less than the size of the movable part. The parking mechanism can provide stepless variable parking force.

A vehicle steering system comprises: a motor assembly operably coupled to a steering rack, the motor assembly comprising a motor having a rotor and a motor position sensor configured to sense a rotor angle of the motor in a single-turn range; and a rotary-to-linear conversion mechanism operably coupled between the motor assembly and the steering rack, the rotary-to-linear conversion mechanism comprising a rotor operably coupled to the rotor of the motor. A processor calculates an absolute angular position of the pinion in a full-turn range of rotation of the pinion based on the sensed rotor angle of the motor and a pinion angle sensed by a pinion angle sensor in a single-turn range, or based on the sensed rotor angle of the motor and an angle of the rotor of the rotary-to-linear conversion mechanism sensed by an angular position sensor in the single-turn range.
