The disclosure relates to a pressure generation unit for a braking system. The pressure generation unit comprises an electric drive motor and a hydraulic piston which is displaceable by the electric drive motor in order to selectively apply pressure to or relieve pressure from a pressure fluid circuit delimited by the hydraulic piston. For this purpose, the electric drive motor is drivingly coupled to the hydraulic piston via a planetary gear mechanism and a rack-and-pinion gear mechanism.

A main ECU controls a braking force by driving an electric motor of a brake mechanism based on a value detected by a thrust force sensor provided to the brake mechanism. The main ECU calibrates (corrects) the value detected by the thrust force sensor based on a driving force acquired when, while a driving force is applied to left and right front wheels serving as driving wheels with the braking force applied to a rear right wheel or a rear left wheel by the brake mechanism, this driving force exceeds the braking force.

An apparatus for generating non-electric control signals for a brake system, which has a first supply source, including: at least one interface configured to be connected to a pressure accumulator; and at least one interface to output the control signals; in which the apparatus is configured to be supplied via a second supply source. Also described are a related module and an electronic brake system.

A ball-screw drive for an actuator assembly of a vehicle brake is disclosed, comprising a rotatably mounted recirculating ball screw on which a screw nut which is closed on one side is mounted, at least one thread being formed on the circumferential surface of the recirculating ball screw, in which thread a plurality of balls are guided in such a way that a rotation of the recirculating ball screw brings about an axial displacement of the screw nut along an axis of rotation of the recirculating ball screw. A ball return system is integrated in the recirculating ball screw. Furthermore, an actuator assembly comprising a ball-screw drive and a method for producing a ball-screw drive are indicated.

A motion conversion mechanism includes a shaft having an external thread and a cylinder having an internal thread that is screwed with the external thread. The motion conversion mechanism converts rotating motion of one of the shaft and the cylinder into linear motion of the other of the shaft and the cylinder. The cylinder is provided with two internal thread portions, each having the internal thread, such that a threadless portion is interposed between the two internal thread portions in an axial direction.

The disclosure provides a work vehicle. The work vehicle includes: a frame, a wheel unit connected with the frame, a working unit connected with the frame, and a power source arranged on the frame to supply power. The work vehicle further includes: a brake assembly connected with the wheel unit, a locking assembly, provided with a lock arm to lock the brake assembly, and a starting mechanism. The starting mechanism includes a starting arm connected with the lock arm to drive the lock arm to move when the starting arm is operated to unlock the brake assembly.

A ball screw drive comprises a spindle that includes a torque input portion and a body portion having a ball-screw drive inner raceway, wherein the body portion and torque input portion are met by a support bearing portion of the spindle that includes a support-bearing inner raceway grooved into a surface of the spindle, an outer ring including a support-bearing outer raceway and forming a channel with the support-bearing inner raceway of the spindle, and one or more support-bearing rolling elements arranged in the channel to contact the support-bearing inner raceway grooved into the surface the spindle.
