A disc brake (1) for vehicles, in particular for commercial vehicles, includes a brake disc, at least two brake linings (3, 3a), and an adjusting spindle (4) axially adjustable toward the brake linings (3, 3a) for setting an air play (L) between the brake linings (3, 3a) and the brake disc (2). The adjusting spindle (4) has a pressure plate (4a) on a side facing the brake linings (3, 3a), and a pressure piece (9) arranged on the adjusting spindle (4) on a side axially opposite from the brake linings (3, 3a). The pressure piece (9) has an anti-rotation safeguard (10; 10a) for blocking a rotation (R) of the adjusting spindle (4), and the anti-rotation safeguard (10; 10a) axially engages the adjusting spindle (4).

The present invention relates to a commercial vehicle disc brake caliper assembly comprising a caliper body and a left guide pin component, right guide pin component, the main adjuster mechanism assembly, the driven adjuster unit are all mounted on the caliper body. The adjuster mechanism assembly adopts a gear clutch structure with anti-overload function; the driven adjuster unit adopts a circlip structure; the main adjuster assembly and the driven adjuster unit is connected by sprocket chain. The bottom of the main adjuster assembly and the bottom of the driven adjuster unit are connected to the three thread calibration bolt, which connected with bridage, the bridage are arranged inside of the brake caliper. The invention overcomes the problems which may occur during braking, such as uneven braking force, failure of clearance adjustment, deformation of adjuster mechanism, failure of braking, etc.

The invention relates to an electric adjusting device for a disc brake, comprising a brake disc and a brake caliper of a vehicle for adjusting the wear of brake linings. The electric adjusting device comprises a motor, a force transmission device, a sensor unit and an actuating unit.

Disclosed is a brake application mechanism for a disc brake in a utility vehicle, having a pivotable brake lever that is supported on an inner wall of a brake caliper and, indirectly, on a bridge which is movably disposed in the brake caliper and which supports at least one brake pad, wherefor an axially and radially secured antifriction roller is disposed between the brake lever and the bridge. The disclosed brake application mechanism is designed such that the antifriction roller rests on the bridge in such a way as to be prevented from rotating and sliding.

An electrically actuated parking brake has a single electric motor producing a torque, a first torque limiting device with a first spring force, and a second torque limiting device with a second spring force. The first torque limiting device fully transmits a first portion of the torque to a first spindle until a first clamp force overcomes the first spring force and the second torque limiting device fully transmits a second portion of the torque to a second spindle until a second clamp force overcomes the second spring force. When the first clamp force overcomes the first spring force and the second spring force overcomes the second clamp force, the first portion of the torque that exceeds the first spring force is transmitted to the second spindle by the second torque limiting device.

A parking brake apparatus for a vehicle includes a motor section receiving electric power from an outside, and generating power; a power transmission section rotated by driving the motor section, and including transmission worm gears; a pair of pressing units receiving power from the power transmission section and pressing a brake pad; a load transmission unit installed between the pair of pressing units, connected to each of the pair of pressing units, transmitting a pressing load of any one of the pair of pressing units to the other pressing unit, and made of a magnetic material; a magnet unit disposed to be spaced apart from the load transmission unit; and a hall sensor unit disposed between the load transmission unit and the magnet unit, and sensing a change in magnetic field according to rotation of the load transmission unit.

An adjuster for an air disc brake includes an over-torque clutch arrangement that includes an adjuster drive plate having ramped detents, and a ball-carrying plate having pockets for retaining ball bearings. Ball bearings are carried and retained in the ball-carrying plate, and transmit rotation between the adjuster drive plate and the ball-carrying plate below a torque threshold. Above a torque threshold, the balls move axially away from the adjuster drive plate against the force of a spring, and ride up the ramped detents. Above the torque threshold, rotation is not transmitted.
