A pressure modulator for an antilock braking system (ABS) has a housing with a hydraulic inlet and a hydraulic outlet, the hydraulic inlet and outlet interconnected via a hydraulic line; a volume accumulator arranged to be opened against a spring force of a spring element and which increases a volume of the hydraulic line during an activated anti-lock function. A linear drive is provided with a rotor bar, where a displacement movement of the rotor bar effectuates an opening of the volume accumulator. The spring element is supported at least indirectly on the housing and the rotor bar, where the spring element is disposed in the rotor bar.

A spring brake actuator is for braking a wheel of a vehicle. The spring brake actuator has an axially elongated housing having a parking brake chamber and a service brake chamber; a main compression spring in the parking brake chamber; a flexible diaphragm in the parking brake chamber; and a pressure plate in the parking brake chamber, the pressure plate located axially between the main compression spring and the flexible diaphragm. The flexible diaphragm has a contoured portion that inhibits radial shifting of the pressure plate with respect to the flexible diaphragm.
