The operating unit (106) further comprises a return spring (126) which is arranged in the recess (150) and is configured to move the operating member (124) relative to the housing body (122) away from the contact shoulder (172), and a sleeve element (180) which circumferentially surrounds a portion of the operating member (124) at least partially and is held in contact with the contact shoulder (172) by the return spring (126), and wherein the sleeve element (180) projects into the through-opening (158) in such a manner that it is arranged between the operating member (124) and an inner circumferential surface of the contact shoulder (172) that delimits the through-opening (158).

The present disclosure concerns an assembly (100) for an electromechanical brake booster (200) of a vehicle braking system (1000). The assembly comprises an actuating member (120) which can be loaded with a first actuating force generated by means of a brake pedal, and a housing (160, 160a) in which the actuating member (120) is received, wherein the housing (160, 160a) can be loaded with a second actuating force generated electromechanically. Furthermore, the assembly (100) comprises an output element (150) extending away from the housing (160, 160a). Said element is configured for transmitting the first and second actuating forces to a brake cylinder (300) of the vehicle braking system (1000). Furthermore, an elastically deformable transmission element (140) is provided which is arranged to transmit force in a brake application direction between the actuating member (120) and the housing (160, 160a) on one side and the output element (150) on the other, and is configured to receive the first actuating force from the actuating member (120) and the second actuating force from the housing (160, 160a) and transmit these to the output element (150). According to the present disclosure, a support (160, 160a) that is rigidly arranged on the housing is provided for a portion of the output element (150), wherein the supported or supportable portion of the output element (150) is arranged between the support (180, 180a) on one side and the transmission element (140) on the other.

A brake pad for a vehicle disc brake assembly has a backing plate, a shim, and an adhesive bond between the backing plate and the shim that retains the shim on the backing plate. The backing plate is configured to support a brake lining and has a recessed portion with transverse first and second surfaces. The first surface is a bottom surface of the recessed portion and the second surface is a perimeter surface that defines a perimeter of the bottom surface. The shim has a face surface that is also transverse to the bottom surface. The face surface is configured to engage with the perimeter surface to mechanically restrain the shim in the recessed portion from lateral displacement.

An electric booster for a vehicle including: a disc holder accommodating a reaction disc, a screw nut rotated in conjunction with an operation of a motor, a screw bolt linearly moved in conjunction with a rotation of the screw nut, a boosting block disposed between the reaction disc and the screw bolt, and contacting a radially outer portion of the reaction disc when the screw bolt moves, a pedal rod contacting a radially central portion of the reaction disc through the screw bolt and the boosting block, a disc holder pressing hole connected to the screw bolt, and disposed to face the disc holder, and a first breakage prevention gap part formed between the disc holder and the disc holder pressing hole.

A brake operation sensor detects a position of an input member. An angle sensor detects a position of a power piston. An ECU drives and controls an electric motor based on a relative position between the input member and the power piston. Then, the input member and the power piston are subjected to a mechanical limitation on a relative displacement therebetween due to abutment with each other at a step. The ECU advances/retracts the power piston independently of the movement of the input member, and determines the abutment state between the input member and the power piston under the mechanical limitation based on the detected relative position. Then, the ECU corrects the relative position between the input member and the power piston based on this determination to control the electric motor.

A first batch of the vehicle brake boosters is assembled with a first one of the multiple, separate batches of reaction discs and the first batch of plunger plates to achieve a target jump-in force. A second batch of plunger plates is formed to an axial length to correspond with a second one of the separate batches of reaction discs. A second batch of the vehicle brake boosters is assembled with a second one of the multiple separate batches of reaction discs and the second batch of plunger plates to achieve the target jump-in force.
