ELECTROMECHANICALLY DRIVEABLE BRAKE PRESSURE GENERATOR FOR A HYDRAULIC BRAKING SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE INCLUDING AN ELECTROMECHANICAL BRAKE PRESSURE GENERATOR
The invention relates to an electromechanical brake pressure generator (14) for a hydraulic braking system (10) of a vehicle. The electromechanical brake pressure generator (14) includes at least one threaded drive assembly (40) for converting a drive-side rotation into a translation for brake pressure generation. The threaded drive assembly (40) includes a spindle (68), which is rotatable via an electric motor (38), and a spindle nut (80), which is situated on a thread (76) of the spindle (68) in such a way that the spindle nut (80) and a hydraulic piston (92) formed thereon are axially displaceable upon rotation of the spindle (68). In addition, the threaded drive assembly (40) includes a housing (64), which forms a hydraulic cylinder (66) corresponding to the hydraulic piston (92), in which the spindle (68) and the spindle nut (80) are accommodated, and a rotation lock (84, 88), via which the spindle nut (80) is secured against rotation upon rotation of the spindle (68).

VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM COMPRISING A SERVICE BRAKE INDICATOR DEVICE AND VEHICLE PROVIDED WITH SUCH A SYSTEM
A vehicle braking system includes brakes, a body, a braking linkage, a service brake comprising a braking piston movable relative to the body to act on the braking linkage and delimiting a service brake pressure chamber to place the braking piston in a service braking position. A parking brake acts on the braking piston and has a working configuration and a resting configuration. The parking brake includes a blocking device movable relative to the body to act on the braking piston and having a first position and a second position in which the blocking device is configured to immobilize the braking piston in a service braking position. A control device is movable relative to the body and has a locking position to hold the blocking device in the second position. A service brake indicator device receives information representing supply and/or venting of the service brake pressure chamber.

Brake cylinder with parking brake mechanism
A brake cylinder for a railway vehicle includes a body, a piston assembly including a piston member and a rod having a threaded surface, and a parking brake locking mechanism including a working nut, a locking gear, and a locking pawl, with the working nut having a threaded surface engaged with the threaded surface of the rod. The piston member has a first position and a second position in a direction extending from the second end of the body toward the first end of the body. The working nut is fixed relative to the locking gear. The locking pawl has an unlocked position spaced from the locking gear and a locked position engaged with the locking gear. The piston is restricted from moving from the second position to the first position when the locking pawl is in the locked position.
