The present disclosure discloses one example of a one-way coupling that eliminates the need for a component corresponding to a guide piece. The one-way coupling of the present discloser includes an input shaft and an output shaft, and is configured to transmit a drive force from the input shaft to the output shaft, and inhibit the drive force inputted to the output shaft from being transmitted to the input shaft. The one-way coupling includes: a transmitter; an immovable ring; a pressure-contact cam; a first wedge member displaceable between a locked position and an unlocked position, and receiving a pressing force from the pressure-contact cam when the drive force is inputted to the input shaft, and thereby the first wedge member is displaced to the locked position; and a first holder holding an arrangement of the first wedge member when the drive force is inputted to the output shaft.

The present invention concerns a brake actuation mechanism for a disc brake, in which a translational movement in the direction of the brake disc leads to a rotation of an input element of an adjustment device, the input element of the adjustment device being designed as part of a ball screw drive. Furthermore, the invention concerns a disc brake with such a brake actuation mechanism.

A power booster includes a conversion device, a power boosting component, a power boosting friction block, a friction part, a power boosting support, a sliding device. The conversion device is fixed to the power boosting component, the power boosting friction block is fixed to the power boosting component, the power boosting friction block and the friction part contact with each other after being pressed, the power boosting component is movably connected to the power boosting support, the friction part is movably connected to the power boosting support, the sliding device is connected to the power boosting component and the power boosting support. The power booster introduces the controlling force from the inlet, and amplifies the controlling force. The amplified controlling force is output by the power boosting component to push the part that needs to be controlled.

A brake caliper, in particular a sliding caliper, of a disc brake of a commercial vehicle includes a brake application portion, which extends around a holding space for holding at least one brake application device; a caliper back; two tension struts, which run substantially parallel and at a distance to one another and connect the brake application portion to the caliper back; a closure cover, which closes the holding space; and an interface for mounting a pivotable brake lever on the side of the brake application portion facing away from the closure cover.

The ratio of the length of the brake application portion to the sum of the length of the brake application portion and the length of a tension strut is between 0.4 and 0.3.

A brake actuation assembly comprising a thrust and support element comprising a first thrust end adapted to cooperate with a first jaw of a brake; the thrust and support element comprising a second thrust and support element end; a lever rotatably supported to the thrust and support element for rotating at least along a rotation thrust direction; the lever comprising a first lever end adapted to cooperate with a second jaw of the brake; the lever comprising a second lever end, wherein the second lever end comprises a hooking seat; and wherein the hooking seat is adapted to firmly receive a connecting portion of a coupling end of a traction cable, the traction cable having a cable body capable of an elastic flexural deformation; the hooking seat being arranged undercut with respect to the rectilinear development direction of the cable body; the lever being adapted to oscillate; wherein the lever comprises a lever abutment surface which cooperates with a stop abutment counter-surface provided in the thrust and support element to prevent a free rotation of the lever in the opposite direction to the rotation thrust direction; the thrust and support element and the second lever end delimiting a guide channel which allows the passage of at least the coupling end; the guide channel allowing the coupling end to rotate about the second lever end and to be coupled to the hooking seat upon the elastic return of the cable body to a substantially straight cable body position, preventing the rotation of the lever in the opposite direction to the rotation thrust direction.

A brake apparatus includes a coupling member configured to couple one end parts of a pair of link arms, an actuator mounted on the coupling member and configured to advance and retract an output member, a lever rotatably coupled to the output member and configured to rotate by advancing and retracting movements of the output member and a booster unit provided on at least one of the one end parts of the pair of link arms and configured to rotate the link arms with supporting portions as fulcrums by boosting a force transmitted by the rotation of the lever.

Provided is a non-excitation operable electromagnetic brake that includes a manually operable rotary cam for switching over a rotor to a brake releasing state, but that allows easy recognition of switchover to the brake released state via an operation reaction force and that also allows reliable keeping of the rotary cam under its acting state. Even when an electromagnet is under a non-excited state, when a rotary cam is rotatably operated to an acting position, an acting portion of the rotary cam slidably operates a rotor via a releasing plate to a brake releasing state against springs. The acting portion of the rotary cam is formed linear along a tangent at a center of the acting portion with respect to a rotary cam rotational direction.

A parking lock device for a transmission of a vehicle. The device comprising a wheel, a pawl for locking the wheel against rotation and an actuator unit arranged for movement of the pawl relative to the wheel. The pawl has a locked position where the pawl and the wheel are engaged and an unlocked position where the pawl and the wheel are disengaged. The pawl and the actuator unit are mechanically coupled to each other by a pin and slot mechanism having a guide slot and a guide pin received by the guide slot.

The disclosure relates to an electromechanical disk brake having a parking brake actuator for motor vehicles. Parking brake actuators are used to prevent a vehicle from rolling away from the stationary state. In conventional disk brakes, a brake cylinder which is assigned to the disk brake is generally equipped with a mechanically actuated parking brake function. At the same time, the principle of the parking brake function used in a conventional disk brake cannot be used. It is an object of the disclosure to provide an electromechanical disk brake having a parking brake actuator, which is cost-effective and needs little construction space. The object can, for example, be achieved via an electromechanical disk brake having a parking brake actuator embodied as an electromagnetic linear drive.

A brake device includes a brake caliper with a first frictional surface and a first actuation surface, a pressing part of the brake device being linearly guided along a first straight line on the brake caliper. The pressing part has a second frictional surface and a second actuation surface, a region being provided between the first frictional surface and the second frictional surface for arranging a brake element. The brake device has a rotatable spreading element which interacts with the first actuation surface and the second actuation surface. During a rotation of the spreading element, the rotation occurring in order to actuate the brake device, a first spreading element surface is in direct contact with a first rolling surface and rolls substantially on the first rolling surface, and the first rolling surface corresponds to the first actuation surface or the second actuation surface.
