ELEVATOR BRAKING DEVICE, POWERHEAD AND METHODS
An overspeed brake system for use in an elevator powerhead is provided. A brake rotor is attachable to a cable drum to rotate with a cable drum. A brake member selectively engages the brake rotor upon transition of an actuation lever from a first position to a second position. A biasing member acts on the actuation lever to bias the actuation lever from the first position towards the second position. A latch arrangement has a first orientation maintaining the actuation lever in the first position and a second orientation releasing the actuation lever for transitioning from the first position to the second position. The latch arrangement transitions from the first orientation to the second orientation when a speed sensing arrangement senses that the rotational speed of the cable drum is at least a predetermined rotational speed.
SELF-POWERED ALL-TERRAIN WHEEL
A motorized wheel assembly is provided herein. The motorized wheel assembly comprises an in-hub motor comprising a stator and a rotor. A shaft is connected to the stator of the in-hub motor. The motorized wheel assembly further comprises a hub, attached to and configured to rotate with the rotor. The hub is disposed about the shaft and the in-hub brake system.

ELECTROMECHANICAL BRAKE ACTUATOR FOR ELECTROMECHANICAL BRAKE ARRANGEMENT
An electromechanical brake actuator (100) is configured to move a service-brake rod (104) between a full-braking position (BP) and a drive position (DP). A parking-brake rod (112) is coupled to the service-brake rod and is movable between a first position (P1) for locking the service-brake rod (104) in the full-braking position (BP), and a second position (P2) where the service-brake rod (104) is free to be moved. A spring element (116) coupled to the parking-brake rod is arranged so that in a fully-compressed state (CS) the parking-brake rod is in the second position, and in a fully-released state (RS) the parking-brake rod is in the first position. A hydraulic unit (118) is operatively coupled to the parking-brake rod and configured, based on a parking-brake signal, to lock the parking-brake rod or allow a release of the spring element to the fully-released state.
ELECTROMECHANICAL DRIVE
An electromechanical drive includes a motor, a rotational part rotatable by the motor about a rotational axis, and a braking device that can be actuated between a braking position and a released position, the braking device having a brake disc that rotates with the rotational part and a braking element that can be adjusted in the axial direction and acts on the brake disc in the braking position. The brake disc has an inner area, a friction surface area extending annularly around the rotational axis with a first friction surface formed on a first side of the brake disc, and an intermediate area extending between the friction surface area and the inner area around the rotational axis. A first mating surface is formed on the braking element, which mating surface faces the first friction surface and interacts with the first friction surface in the braking position.
ELECTRICALLY OPERATED BRAKE DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
An electrically operated brake device includes an electric motor pressing friction member against a rotating member, and a returning mechanism moving the friction member in a direction away from the rotating member when the electric motor is not energized. The returning mechanism includes a spiral spring and a housing. The spiral spring includes a restraint section. The housing includes a holding surface. When the electric motor is rotated in a forward direction, the restraint section presses the holding surface, and the spiral spring gives a returning torque in a reverse direction. When the returning torque exceeds a predetermined torque, the restraint section slips out of the holding surface. The holding surface is inclined with respect to a normal line surface including a contact part between the restraint section and the holding surface and an axis line of the rotating shaft.
ELECTRIC BRAKING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
Provided is an electric braking device wherein a friction member is pressed, via a piston driven by an electric motor, against a rotary member that rotates integrally with a vehicle wheel, thus generating a braking force on the vehicle wheel. The electric braking device is provided with: a controller for controlling the electric motor; a rotation angle sensor for detecting a rotation angle of the electric motor; and a return mechanism for applying a return force to a piston in a direction away from the rotary member. Furthermore, the controller executes a proper/improper determination to determine whether the return mechanism is operating properly on the basis of a change in the rotation angle after conduction of electricity to the electric motor is stopped.
