Disclosed are an electronic control brake system and a method for controlling the same. The method for controlling an electronic control brake system of a vehicle according to the present disclosure, in which a service brake is configured to provide a braking force by hydraulic pressure to each wheel and a drum in hat (DIH) brake is configured to provide a parking brake force to each of the wheels by pulling a parking cable, the method including determining whether rocking of the vehicle occurs due to a weight shift of the vehicle at the DIH brake on the basis of operation information of an electronic parking brake (EPB) system configured to adjust a braking force of the DIH brake, state information of a transmission gear, and state information of a brake pedal; and when the rocking of the vehicle is determined to occur, automatically operating the service brake.

Systems and methods for emergency brake systems are provided herein. In this regard, a brake system may comprise a summing lever having a first end and a second end, a brake handle coupled to the first end of the summing lever, the brake handle rotatably coupled about a first axis, and a linear actuator having a plunger, the plunger being coupled to the second end of the summing lever. In various embodiments, an idler link may be coupled between the brake handle and the first end of the summing lever. The brake system may further comprise a brake cable coupled between the summing lever and a brake metering valve. The brake metering valve may be actuated in response to at least one of the brake handle being rotated about the first axis or the linear actuator being actuated.

A brake device that pressurizes a brake pad as brake fluid in a master cylinder operates a caliper piston by a master piston that operates by receiving power of a driving motor of a brake module kit in the present disclosure applies a brake module kit to various types of caliper bodies and commonizes the brake module kit.

A brake system includes a service brake and a parking brake that brake a vehicle including a lift axle capable of ascending and descending. The brake system further includes a brake blocker device and a controller that controls the brake blocker device. The brake blocker device blocks at least one of supply of compressed air to the service brake and supply of compressed air to the parking brake. The service brake and the parking brake act on the lift axle. The controller actuates the brake blocker device when the lift axle is at a lifted position.

A rotation/translation converter gear unit having a helical gear and a planetary gear for driving the helical gear. A spindle nut of the helical gear forms a planet carrier for planet wheels of the planetary gear. Situated between the planetary gear and the helical gear is an axial friction bearing, that at the same time forms a centering element which centers a sun wheel of the planetary gear between the planet wheels. In particular, the rotation/translation converter gear unit is used to drive a piston of a pressure generator for a brake control of a hydraulic vehicle brake system.

A vehicle braking system includes a first hydraulic brake assembly associated with a first wheel, a second hydraulic brake assembly associated with a second wheel, a third brake assembly associated with a third wheel, a fourth brake assembly associated with a fourth wheel, a brake control module operably coupled to the first and second hydraulic brake assemblies to control primary operation of the first and second hydraulic brake assemblies and operably coupled to the third and fourth brake assemblies to provide brake torque application for parking brake functionality, and a backup brake actuator operably coupled to a first locking valve disposed in hydraulic lines supplying at least one among the first and second hydraulic brake assemblies and the third and fourth brake assemblies. Responsive to an indication of loss or degradation of the parking brake functionality, the brake control module triggers the backup brake actuator to lock hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic lines supplying the at least one among the first and second hydraulic brake assemblies and the third and fourth brake assemblies for backup parking brake functionality.

A braking system and method of providing a braking system includes: a rotatory braking element that is fixedly connected to a wheel or wheel hub in a manner to rotate conjointly with the wheel, a stationary braking element that is fixedly connected to a vehicle chassis, a brake actuator that is configured to actuate the stationary braking element so as to press the stationary braking element towards the rotatory element, a lever that is configured so as to transfer a force exerted by the brake actuator to the stationary brake element, wherein a pivot axis of the lever is in parallel with a rotational plane of the rotatory braking element and perpendicular to a horizontal caliper plane that is a plane that is oriented tangentially of the rotatory brake element, and an actuator axis is in parallel with the rotational plane and the horizontal caliper plane.
