A brake caliper assembly that includes a caliper body and a support member. The caliper body includes an inboard wall; an outboard wall; and a transverse wall connecting the inboard wall and the outboard wall. The support member is adapted to connect the brake caliper assembly to a vehicle. The support member is connected to the inboard wall at more than two support connections.

An apparatus for a vehicle is provided that includes and axle and an articulating brake component mounting plate carried by the axle. The articulating brake component mounting plate has an inner portion and an outer portion, and the position of the outer portion is adjustable with respect to the inner portion. Either the inner portion or the outer portion defines an adjustment nut aperture. An adjustment nut is located in the adjustment nut aperture.

The invention relates to a brake unit and a method for maintaining a brake unit, wherein the brake unit comprises a carrier unit and a jaw unit, wherein the carrier unit can be secured to the fixed portion of a utility vehicle chassis and has a first guiding member and a second guiding member, wherein the first guiding member and the first guiding member are spaced apart from each other, wherein the jaw unit is secured by the guiding members against displacement in a guiding direction, wherein the jaw unit is secured by a securing element which can be secured to one of the guiding members against displacement along an axial line, wherein the jaw unit can be displaced in an actuation direction.

A drum brake, in particular for a utility vehicle, has a brake drum, which is rotatably mounted about a rotational axis, and multiple brake shoes, which are mounted in a receiving area of the brake drum and each of which has a friction lining support and a friction lining arranged thereon. The brake shoes can be pressed against a brake drum casing inner surface, which is designed as a friction surface, in a radial direction relative to a rotational axis of the brake drum. The interior of the drum brake is equipped with a brake cylinder assembly which is rotationally fixed to an armature housing for actuating the brake shoes. A respective pressing wedge is arranged on the friction lining support face facing away from the friction lining. The pressing wedge lies on a wedge mechanism which can be moved in a parallel manner relative to the rotational axis of the brake drum. The wedge mechanism can be moved from a non-braking position into a braking position by moving the service brake piston of the brake cylinder assembly in a parallel manner relative to the rotational axis of the brake drum.
