A pushing force-actuated braking device includes an annular housing that houses a brake disc, a braking piston, plural braking elements, and a brake-releasing piston. When only the braking piston is under the action of a fluid, the braking piston applies an axial pushing force to the brake disc such that the brake disc is kept at a braking position jointly by the braking piston and the braking elements. When only the brake-releasing piston is under the action of a fluid, the brake-releasing piston applies an opposite pushing force to the brake disc to keep it at a brake-releasing position. Should the fluid acting on the braking piston fail, the force of the braking elements still enables the brake disc to produce a braking effect. The pushing force-actuated braking device has a modular design to facilitate assembly and disassembly. A rotary table using the braking device is also provided.

An operating unit for a parking brake of motor vehicles including an operatively connected unit having of a drive spindle and nut, which forms an axially longitudinally adjustable element of a linear drive. The drive spindle has a drive side for connection to an electric drive and a substantially cylindrical spindle portion having an external thread. The nut has a sleeve-shaped central body having an internal thread and a head portion designed to act as a pressure piston on a brake element of the parking brake. The internal and external threads intermesh in the operative connection and define a common axial axis of rotation. The thread is a symmetrical thread, and the flank angles, relative to a radial reference plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation, have angle values which are substantially equal in magnitude.
