Brake control systems are disclosed herein. A brake control system comprises a first set of analog-to-digital converters in electrical communication with a first set of brake input mechanism sensors and a second set of analog-to-digital converters in electrical communication with a second set of brake input mechanism sensors. The first and second sets of analog-to-digital converters comprise one or more of different hardware and different software for differentially manipulating sensor outputs received from the brake input mechanism sensors.

A brake device, configured to be installed directly on a driving axle or through a hub, wherein said device includes a first brake disc joined to the axle sharing rotary motion, a first container disc and a second container disc configured to be moved in the axial direction of said axle. The container discs are positioned on each side of the brake disc, such that both are configured to be moved in the axial direction towards the linings of the first brake disc and to exert a pushing pressure thereon, producing the braking of the brake disc and, therefore, of the driving axle whereon it is assembled. Furthermore, the container discs comprise an inner circuit configured to accommodate the passage of a coolant configured to cool them.

A brake system and a method for controlling a brake system. The brake system may include a first module having a first pressure supply unit with an electromotive drive, an optional second pressure supply unit and a first control device for controlling the first pressure supply unit; a second module having a third pressure supply unit, isolation valves and brake-pressure-adjusting valves, and a second control device for controlling the brake-pressure-adjusting valves; and a detection unit for detecting a first case of error. The brake system is designed such that, in the first case of error, in order to provide an ABS function and/or a yaw torque intervention, it implements a (wheel-specific and/or selective) adjustment of the pressures in the wheel brakes by actuating at least one of the brake-pressure-adjusting valves of the second module and/or the isolation valves of the second module and the first pressure supply unit.

Provided is an electro-mechanical brake system and a method of operating the same including: a pair of pad plates disposed on both sides of a disk rotating together with a wheel; a piston configured to allow the pad plates to come in close contact with or to be separated from the disk; a first motor and a second motor configured to operate independently from each other and provide the piston with power; a first gear configured to decelerate power of the first motor and transmit the decelerated power; a second gear configured to convert power of the second motor into a translational motion and apply pressure to or release pressure on the piston while in contact with the piston, the second gear including a guide part slantly formed on a portion that comes in contact with the piston; and a connecting part connecting the first gear and the second gear to each other to allow the first gear and the second gear to rotate together with each other, the connecting part configured to couple the first gear and the second gear such that the second gear is slidable with respect to the first gear.

An electromechanical brake pressure generator for a hydraulic brake system of a vehicle. The electromechanical brake pressure generator includes a screw drive system for converting a drive-side rotary movement into a translation movement to generate brake pressure. The screw drive system includes a spindle which is rotatable via an electric motor, a spindle nut, which interacts with a thread of the spindle so that the spindle nut is axially displaceable by a rotation of the spindle, and a drive wheel, which is situated coaxially on the spindle in a torsionally fixed manner and via which the spindle is connected to the electric motor. The drive wheel is developed from at least two different materials. A first material forms at least a wheel hub of the drive wheel. A second material forms at least a drive ring enclosing the wheel hub. The first material has greater strength than the second material.

A method for operating a brake system, which comprises hydraulically actuatable wheel brakes with brake linings; a brake fluid reservoir; a master brake cylinder; a pressure supply device with a pressure piston that can be moved into a pressure chamber; an integrated parking brake, wherein, in a normal operating mode, brake pressure is actively built up in the wheel brakes by means of the pressure supply device, and wherein, in a parking operating mode, the integrated applies the brake linings of at least two wheel brakes, and wherein, when the integrated parking brake is released, the application of the linings is withdrawn again, wherein after the integrated parking brake has been released, the brake fluid volume displaced by the integrated parking brake is taken into consideration for the subsequent operation in the normal operating mode.

A hydraulic block for a hydraulic power unit of a hydraulic, slipped-controlled power vehicle braking system. A power piston of an electromechanical power brake pressure generator in a power cylinder borehole of the hydraulic block is guided radially in the power cylinder borehole with the aid of a guide bushing.

An actuating unit for a brake booster of a vehicle is disclosed, the actuating unit having a housing and a force transmission module which is received displaceably in the housing. The force transmission module has a first force transmission element, a second force transmission element which is couplable or coupled to the first force transmission element so as to transmit force, a spring device which is couplable or coupled to the second force transmission element so as to transmit force and an actuating element which is couplable or coupled to the first force transmission element. The spring device is configured to exert a spring force on the first and/or second force transmission element such that the first and/or second force transmission element is able to be held at least temporarily in a predetermined initial position. The first and/or second force transmission element is adjustable from the initial position counter to the spring force of the spring device by an adjustment path by a force exerted and/or transmitted onto the first force transmission element. The force transmission module is configured to decouple the first force transmission element from the spring device after a defined adjustment path, as well as a brake booster, vehicle brake system and subassembly therefor.

An electromechanical brake booster for a vehicle brake system is disclosed. The electromechanical brake booster has an actuating element which is couplable to an electric motor via a transmission, a housing in which the actuating element is displaceably received, and at least one sliding element which is arranged between the housing and the actuating element.
