In some examples, an assembly includes a vehicle wheel that defines an interior and an exterior surface, where the interior surface defines a first protrusion and a second protrusion. The first protrusion defines a first aperture extending in a substantially axial direction. The assembly further includes a rotor drive key on the interior surface, the drive key defining a first and second feature, and the first feature defines a second aperture extending in the substantially axial direction and is configured to align with the first aperture. The assembly includes a fastener configured to be inserted through the first and second aperture in the substantially axial direction to attach the key to the interior surface of the wheel, where the second aperture is configured to form a threaded connection with an end of the fastener. When the fastener is tightened via the threaded connection, the second feature engages the second protrusion.

The invention relates to a brake actuator for an aircraft hydraulic brake, which is intended to be added into one of the cavities of a brake ring, the actuator comprising a liner (1) designed to be housed sealingly in the cavity of the ring, a piston (3) mounted to slide sealingly in the liner along an axis of sliding (X) so as to apply a braking force on friction pads when a fluid is introduced under pressure into the cavity, and having a determined operational travel, a wear compensation device (10) which defines a position to which the piston retreats into the liner by means of a mobile stop (11) that can be moved forward by the piston as a braking force is applied, and an elastic return member (16) returning the piston towards the retracted position bearing against the mobile stop. According to the invention, the mobile stop is reduced to a friction member rubbing against the liner, such that one of the faces of the friction member serves as a stop defining the retracted position of the piston, and the other of the faces serves as a support for the elastic return member, the elastic member having, when compressed, a sufficient increase in force in order to be able to push back the mobile stop in the event that the piston is not in contact with the friction pads while its operational travel is already exhausted.

A brake caliper thrust device for a disc brake is provided. The brake caliper thrust device has a thrust device body adapted to be translated inside a guide device, the thrust device body defining an internal cavity at least partially open and facing towards an object to be pushed, including a brake pad associable with the thrust device. The internal cavity is delimited by at least one internal surface defined by at least one wall of the thrust device. From the at least one wall of the thrust device, at least one heat dissipation element protrudes into the internal cavity, adapted to increase the extension of the at least one internal surface to evacuate heat accumulated by the at least one wall of the thrust device.

Power transmission systems including clutch arrangements and systems are adapted to be used in marine and other environments. Such power transmission systems may include clutch arrangements that provide more effective power transmission capabilities as well as greater durability and longer life. Slipping clutch arrangements may effectively vary the output speed of a clutch arrangement from the speed of the engine or other driver as desired for the particular application. Various clutch arrangements also provide for greater flexibility and drive options, lighter weight, and diverse types of capabilities.

A piston engaging member of a piston assembly for engaging a pressure plate of an aircraft brake system, the engaging member comprising a body having a first side configured to selectably engage with the pressure plate, and a mount on a second side of the body configured to mount the piston engaging member with a piston of the piston assembly wherein the body comprises a cellular structure between the first and second sides.

A hydraulic and electromechanical service and parking disc brake may have a service braking system, having at least one hydraulic actuator, a parking braking system having at least one electromechanical actuator transmission irreversibility, a control system connected to the service braking system and to the parking system and a user interface. A translational member of the electromechanical actuator is restrained to be rotationally integral with respect to the caliper via an anti-rotation shape coupling with a guide portion which is integral with the caliper and arranged on a rear side of the translational member, opposite to the free end.

A pot-shaped, cold-formed steel brake piston as a pot which is open on one side includes a base and a wall including inner and outer walls, a radially inwardly configured groove is open in a radially outward direction and forms, radially at the inside, a groove bead projection. The open side of the pot ends as a bearing for a friction pad backplate. Interfaces integrated at the inside on the end side serve a) for the fixing between friction pad and steel brake piston and b) as support bearing for spring mounting the friction pad. An aspect is a further improved steel brake piston of the new generation. The minimum inner diameter d.sub.imin is axially set back in the direction of the base by a multiple of the length of a wall thickness s, and the minimum piston inner diameter d.sub.imin is formed by the groove bead projection.
