A disc brake, preferably pneumatically actuated, in particular for a motor vehicle, including a brake disc with a brake disc axis, a brake caliper, in particular a sliding caliper, with a brake application section and a caliper back which are connected via tension struts, and at least two brake pads with in each case one brake pad carrier. Of the brake pads, an application-side brake pad is assigned to the brake application section and a back-side brake pad is assigned to the caliper back. The brake pad carrier of the back-side brake pad and the caliper back of the brake caliper are in contact via at least one pair of contact surfaces. One contact surface of the at least one pair of contact surfaces is an end surface of a projection, and the other contact surface of the at least one pair of contact surfaces is a bottom surface of a recess.

A disc brake, preferably a compressed air-actuated disc brake, in particular for a motor vehicle, has a brake application mechanism with a brake rotary lever, at least one spindle unit having a threaded rod screwed into a bridge, and a brake caliper. The caliper frames an edge region of a brake disc. The brake caliper has a brake application portion and a caliper back which are connected together via tie bars. The brake application mechanism with the brake rotary lever is received in the brake application portion of the brake caliper from an application face side of the brake disc. The brake application portion of the brake caliper has a first region, in which the application mechanism and a force transmission portion of the brake rotary lever are arranged, a second region, which is formed as a lever housing, and a lever portion for the brake rotary lever. A support wall with a bearing portion, which forms a pivot bearing with a brake rotary lever axis that runs parallel to the brake disc, for the brake rotary lever is arranged between the first region and the second region.

A disk brake is proposed for a vehicle, preferably a commercial vehicle, having a brake caliper, a brake application device, an adjusting device, a brake lever, and a mechanism which couples the brake lever to the drive element. The brake caliper engages over a brake disk and brake linings on both sides of the brake disk. The brake application device can be actuated by way of a force element, preferably a pneumatic force element. The adjusting device compensates for the brake lining and brake disk wear. The adjusting device is arranged on an adjusting axis which extends in the brake application direction, and is provided with a drive element which can be rotated about the adjusting axis.

A disk brake for a utility-vehicle wheel includes a brake caliper reaching around a brake disk, an application device arranged in the brake caliper on one side of the brake disk actuated by means of a force member, brake pads on both sides of the brake disk. At least the application-side brake pad is arranged in a pad duct having first and second supporting surfaces which have the same distance from a pad duct center line in the circumferential direction, and against which the brake pad lies, a brake lever which is part of the application device and is composed of a lever arm supporting the force member, and an application shaft connected to the lever arm and mounted inside the brake caliper on a pivot axis and resting in a rotationally movable manner against a pressure piece working against the application-side brake pad.

A disk brake includes a wear sensor and an adjusting device having an adjusting element in the form of a pressure screw and/or a pressure sleeve. The adjusting element has a recess in which a reset device extends which is rotationally coupled to the adjusting element for resetting the adjusting device. The wear sensor lies at least partially in the recess.

A disc brake (10) of the type including a pivoting lever having eccentric journals which act on a pair of tappets is disclosed. The tappets are adjusted in length by rotation, and each tappet has a tappet gear (22). A centrally located intermediate gear (24) is provided between the tappet gears to form a gear train, synchronizing the rotation of the two tappets and therefore ensuring that they remain the same length. The centrally located intermediate gear (24) includes a socket (26) for receiving a centrally located adjuster. The adjuster may be installed and removed from the disc brake through an aperture at the rear of the brake caliper, without any substantial disassembly of the brake and without de-synchronizing the tappets or even interrupting the gear train between the tappets.

A braking mechanism, a mechanical brake, an electronic mechanical braking system, and a vehicle. The braking mechanism includes: a fixed caliper; two braking units, where the two braking units are arranged in a first direction, a braking gap used by a part of a brake disc for extending is formed between the two braking units; two crankshaft units that are in a one-to-one correspondence with the two braking units, where in each group of the braking unit and the crankshaft unit that correspond to each other, the crankshaft unit is located on a side that is of the braking unit and that is away from the braking gap, the crankshaft unit is rotatably installed on the fixed caliper around a first axis, and the first axis is perpendicular to the first direction; and a drive unit. The braking mechanism can avoid a reliability risk of the system.

A clutch drive unit 220 includes a crank arm 221 configured to rotate by rotary driving of a clutch actuator 231. The crank arm 221 includes an output pin 222 configured to press a master cylinder 232, and a receiving pin 223 configured to receive pressing force P from an extendable body 228. The extendable body 228 includes a lock spring 228a with such strength that the pressing force P is generated. The pressing force P allows pressing moment PM greater than reactive force moment RM based on reactive force R acting on the crank arm 221 from a clutch 210 to act on the crank arm 221. The extendable body 228 is, by the stretching force of the lock spring 228a, provided in a stretched state between the receiving pin 223 and a holder receiving pin 229.

Motion control systems, devices, and methods are operable for controlling rotary motion of an actuated device. In one aspect, a motion control device is coupled between an external motive input (200) and a rotary output device (300). The motion control device has a brake core (110) configured to produce an electromagnetic field when an electric current is applied. A brake band (130) made of a magnetically responsive material surrounds the brake core (110) and is coupled to the brake core (110) when the electric current is applied. A rotor (120) that is coupled to both the external motive input (200) and the rotary output surrounds at least the perimeter of the brake band (130) and is coupled to the brake band (130) for rotation together. When the electric current is applied, the rotor (120) and the brake core (110) are thus rotatably locked together to control rotary motion generated by actuating forces imparted by the external motive input (200).

A disc brake for a vehicle, particularly for a commercial vehicle, includes a brake caliper which straddles a brake disc and in which an application device is arranged, a single-piece rotary lever which has an eccentric element, and at least one brake plunger which is designed as a power screw arrangement having a rotational axis and with which, when the rotary lever is actuated, at least one brake pad can be pressed against the brake disc. The rotary lever is arranged in the brake caliper such that it can pivot relative thereto, and is supported directly or by way of one or more elements connected therebetween, on said brake caliper, in at least one support region. The rotary lever, which can pivot relative to the brake plunger, has at least one convexly-formed section on the side thereof that lies opposite the support point on the brake caliper, and this section lies against a matching concave end face in the axial extension of the rotational axis of said power screw arrangement.
