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 detection method for an electromechanical brake booster. The method includes: ascertaining, while both a driver braking force is transferred to an input element and a motor force is transferred to a support element so that a coupling element of the electromechanical brake booster which is provided downstream from the input element and the support element is also displaced at least using the motor force, whether an open intermediate gap, when the input element is present in its starting position, is closed when the coupling element is present in its starting position, and establishing an actual variable with respect to a coupling element path of the coupling element out of its coupling element starting position and/or a coupling element velocity of the coupling element in the case of an open intermediate gap using a first formula, and in the case of a closed intermediate gap using a second formula.

A brake booster for a braking system of a vehicle including: a valve body to which a booster force is transmittable, a reaction disk, and an output rod, situated on the reaction disk in such a way that the booster force is at least partially transmittable to the output rod via the reaction disk so that the output rod is displaceable in the braking direction, the output rod being pressable counter to the braking direction due to a counter force of a master brake cylinder of the braking system, and the valve body and/or the output rod being formed in such a way that a relative movement of the output rod, aligned counter to the braking direction with respect to the valve body, is limited by an impact of at least one first contact surface of the output rod on at least one second contact surface of the valve body.

A brake assembly including an operating shaft, a yoke, and a rotating element. The rotating element bearing may be positioned between a convex bearing surface of the operating shaft and a concave bearing surface of the yoke such that the rotating element bearing may be configured to move relative to the operating shaft and relative to the yoke during actuation of the brake.

A method of manufacturing vehicle brake boosters includes load testing a plurality of reaction discs and sorting the load-tested reaction discs into multiple, separate batches based on the load test results. A first batch of plunger plates is formed to an axial length to correspond with a first of the separate batches of reaction discs. 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.

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.
