A wheel brake arrangement for a wheel of a vehicle, the wheel brake arrangement comprising a retainer bar and a resilient member connected between the retainer bar and a brake pad arrangement of the wheel brake arrangement.

A metallic support of a brake pad delimited between a first and a second face, and having a perimeter edge substantially perpendicular to the first and second faces. The first face receives a block or layer of friction material, and the second face receives a dampening element. The first face has at least one projecting part extending cantilevered spaced apart from the perimeter edge so as to be completely embedded within the block or layer of friction material. The at least one projecting part is delimited at the top by a first surface upon which there is at least one first cavity filled with the block or layer of friction material. The second face has at least one second cavity forged as the at least one projecting part. At the at least one first cavity, there is at least one first relief shaped as the at least one first cavity.

A friction lining assembly having a backing plate and a sheet metal restoring spring fixed thereto, for a partially lined sliding-caliper type disk brake having a brake holder fixed with respect to the vehicle, on which friction lining assemblies arranged on both sides of a brake disk are slidably guided. A housing, which extends over the brake disk and the friction lining assemblies, is slidably mounted on the brake holder. The restoring spring is clamped axially between the brake holder and the friction lining assembly by at least one spring leg and applies a release clearance to the friction lining assembly. The spring leg extends over a hammer-head- shaped claw of the backing plate. The spring leg is plastically deformable in a defined manner under braking actuation as a result of a reduction in the friction-material thickness in order to impose a constantly dimensioned release clearance on the friction lining assembly.

A brake pad for a heavy vehicle disc brake. The brake pad may include a layer of friction material and first and second resilient arms. The first and second resilient arms may be arranged to contact first and second corresponding pad abutment structures to urge the brake pad away from a rotor when the brake pad is urged towards the rotor during application of the brake.

A brake lining arrangement, in particular for a disk brake of a motor vehicle, has a rear plate and a friction lining that is connected to the rear plate. The rear plate has a bearing face on which the friction lining is placed. The rear plate also has a member configured for fastening the friction lining on the bearing face. The friction lining has at least one cutout that is configured as a blind bore. At least one connecting pin is arranged fixedly on the rear plate so as to project from the bearing face. The connecting pin is configured to engage at least substantially without play into the cutout.

Disclosed herein is a disc brake for vehicle. The disc brake for vehicle according to the embodiment includes a pair of friction pads disposed at both sides of a disc, a caliper housing and a piston configured to press the pair of the friction pads against the disc, and a moving guide configured to guide movement of the pair of the friction pads pressed against the disc by the caliper housing and the piston, wherein the moving guide may include a pair of guide arms disposed at both outer sides of the caliper housing and integrally connected by a steering knuckle of a vehicle, and the friction pad may be slidably supported by the guide arms using a pair of outward protrusions provided at both sides of the friction pad such that the friction pad extends between the pair of the guide arms and the caliper housing and further include a pad clip assembled with the outward protrusion to provide elastic support between the outward protrusion and the caliper housing.

A brake apparatus for a vehicle may include: a brake pad configured to press a brake disk; a screw bar located in a caliper body, and rotatable by power received from a motor unit; a spindle linearly movable by rotation of the screw bar, and coupled to the brake pad; a piston coupled to the spindle so as to cover an outside of the spindle, made of a material having lower hardness than that of the spindle, and movable with the spindle; and a sealing member installed in the caliper body, and contacting the piston.

A disc brake caliper is basically provided with a caliper housing, a brake pad and an intermediate member. The caliper housing defines a slot that is configured to receive a brake rotor. The caliper housing is made of a first material. The brake pad includes a mounting plate. The brake pad is disposed in the slot. The intermediate member is disposed between the caliper housing and the brake pad. The intermediate member is made of a second material having a thermal conductivity that is smaller than a thermal conductivity of the first material.

An actuator assembly of an electromechanical vehicle brake has a linearly displaceable brake piston, a brake calliper unit having a holder for the brake piston, and a rotation prevention arrangement. The rotation prevention arrangement comprises a ring pushed onto a contact surface on the brake piston and connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the brake piston at an inner circumferential surface. The ring has at least one radially outwardly protruding securing projection, and a groove associated with the securing projection, which runs in the axial direction in the inner circumferential surface of the holder. A method for mounting and dismounting the brake piston is also disclosed.

A disc brake caliper is basically provided with a caliper housing, a brake pad and an intermediate member. The caliper housing defines a slot that is configured to receive a brake rotor. The brake pad is disposed in the slot. The intermediate member is disposed between the caliper housing and the brake pad.
