An automatic brake subsystem (24) includes second accumulators (25F, 25R), a front second line (28) and a rear second line (29), second brake valves (30F, 30R), a first solenoid switching valve (32), first shuttle valves (33F, 33R), and a controller 37. A second solenoid switching valve (34F) and a pressure sensor (35F) are provided in the front second line (28), and a second solenoid switching valve (34R) and a pressure sensor (35R) are provided in the rear second line (29). In a case where it is determined that each of the second brake valve (30F, 30R) is not performing normally based upon a pressure of a hydraulic fluid detected by each of the pressure sensors (35F, 35R) and an operating signal supplied to the first solenoid switching valve (32) or each of the second brake valves (30F, 30R), a controller 37 performs control to switch each of the second solenoid switching valves (34F, 34R).

A brake module is provided. The brake module is for braking at least one omnidirectional wheel, and the omnidirectional wheels include at least one major wheel and a plurality of minor wheels. The brake module includes a base, a first brake arm, a first major brake block and a first minor brake block. The first major brake block is disposed on the first brake arm. The first minor brake block is disposed on the first brake arm. When the first brake arm is in a first orientation, the first major brake block and the first minor brake block are separated from the omnidirectional wheel, and when the first brake arm is in a second orientation, the first major brake block abuts the major wheel, and the first minor brake block abuts one of the minor wheels.

An electromechanical brake booster for a vehicle is described, which includes a housing, a spindle nut operationally engaged with a spindle, an electric motor, with the aid of which the spindle may be set into a translational movement along its spindle axis, a first tie rod and a second tie rod, which are fastened on the housing and extend in parallel to the spindle axis of the spindle, and a bracket fastened on the spindle, a first slide bearing enclosing the first tie rod being situated in a first opening of the bracket and a second slide bearing enclosing the second tie rod being situated in a second opening of the bracket, and the first slide bearing and the second slide bearing each being resiliently clamped in the bracket in a plane perpendicular in relation to the spindle axis. A manufacturing method for an electromechanical brake booster is also described.

A motor vehicle braking system including at least one electrically actuated parking brake (FP) to be positioned at a wheel, a control unit (UC) configured for generating a command for the parking brake (FP) to apply parking braking or to interrupt the application of parking braking at a first intensity following a first request, wherein the control unit (UC) is also configured for generating a command for the parking brake (FP) to apply parking braking at a second intensity in response to a second request issued after the first request.

A method for operating a braking system for a vehicle. A braking request signal characterizing a braking request is generated by actuation of a positioning assemblage of an actuation circuit, and a target brake pressure required in an active circuit is ascertained based on the braking request signal. An actual brake pressure in the active circuit is established in accordance with the target brake pressure, using a pressure generation device, by moving a displacer piston of the pressure generation device using an electric motor of the pressure generation device. If the braking request signal is constant over a predetermined time period, a wheel brake actuated by the active circuit is hydraulically decoupled from the pressure generation device by closing an isolation valve that is disposed in a hydraulic path between the pressure generation device and the wheel brake, and the electric motor is shut off.

A brake pedal device includes a pedal pad rotatable about an axis when stepped on by a driver, and a reaction force generation mechanism generating a reaction force to the pedal pad according to a stepping amount of the pedal pad. The pedal pad includes a pedal base portion extending away from an axis side end to another end, and a pedal operation portion attached to the pedal base portion and stepped on by the driver. The pedal operation portion protrudes toward a pedal return side in a rotation direction about the axis with respect to the pedal base portion, and a surface of the pedal operation portion has a plane portion that is configured as a flat surface and is stepped on by the driver, so that the reaction force generated by the reaction force generation mechanism acts on the pedal pad in a direction piercing the plane portion.
