A length of the parking rod, the diameter of the shaft hole and the diameter of the turning shaft portion are respectively designed such that the turning shaft portion is inserted into the shaft hole when the parking rod is inserted from the opening.

GENERATOR HAVING A DISCONNECT MECHANISM
20210119511 · 2021-04-22 ·

A generator for comprising a rotor, an inner shaft, an outer shaft, and an actuation means. The inner shaft is at least partially disposed inside the outer shaft. The inner shaft is coupled to the outer shaft by means of a translatable drive connection. The actuation means is configured to actuate the second shaft towards a retracted position. The translatable drive connection is configured to allow a transfer of torque between the first and second shafts, and enables movement of the second shaft, relative to the first shaft, along its axis of rotation from an extended, position to a retracted position, such that an input portion of the second shaft can be at least partially retracted in a retraction direction towards the rotor upon activation of the actuation mechanism. A disconnect mechanism disposed on the second shaft can therefore be disconnected upon retraction of the second shaft.

DISC BRAKE HAVING AN ELECTROMECHANICAL ACTUATOR
20210054888 · 2021-02-25 ·

The present disclosure relates to a disc brake having an electromechanical actuator for vehicles, in particular for utility vehicles, comprising a brake disc, a brake carrier and a brake caliper of a vehicle for applying the brake disc by means of brake linings. Current tests have shown that the tappet after assembly is not fixed correctly in a housing of the electromechanical actuator. The tappet may after positioning fall out of the rotary lever, which results in the force transmission for applying the brake disc being interrupted and the brake disc not being able to be applied. An object of the present disclosure is to overcome the problems from the prior art and to provide a disc brake with an electromechanical actuator which reduces or even prevents damage to the tappet, the cam disc and the housing of the electromechanical actuator.

Actuation mechanism

An operating shaft and an actuation mechanism for a disc brake. The actuation mechanism may include a wear adjuster mechanism and the operating shaft. The operating shaft may include opposed pairs of arcuate surfaces arranged with offset axes of rotation and a recess therebetween for accommodating a portion of the wear adjuster mechanism.

Portal box assemblies and wet brake systems for vehicles
10889182 · 2021-01-12 · ·

A portal box assembly for mounting a wheel of a vehicle having a drive axle may include a portal box housing configured for mounting on the vehicle. The portal box housing may have a housing interior. A lift kit and gear reduction system may be provided in the housing interior of the portal box housing. The lift kit and gear reduction system may include an input gear configured to be drivingly engaged by the drive axle on the vehicle. At least one idler gear may be drivingly engaged by the input gear. An output gear may be drivingly engaged by the input gear through the idler gear(s). The output gear may be disposed in offset or spaced-apart relationship to the input gear. A spindle may be drivingly engaged by the output gear.
