A cycle braking system is provided where the system comprises a brake sphere engaged with a shaft adjacent to a wheel of a cycle and a brake caliper, where the brake caliper is mounted to a cycle's chassis and aligned around the brake sphere rotor. In one embodiment, the cycle braking system further comprises brake pad(s) with an inner side and a contact side, a brake housing having the brake pad(s) positioned between the caliper and the contact side facing the brake sphere; and the brake caliper connected to a cycle's hydraulic lines.

A bearing assembly, such as for a wind turbine or a tidal turbine including a tower and a nacelle, includes a lower part that is attachable to the tower, an upper part that is attachable to the nacelle, a bearing that rotatably couples the lower part to the upper part to allow rotation of the nacelle with respect to the tower, and a brake mechanism configured to selectively prevent relative rotation of the upper part and the lower part. The brake mechanism includes a brake disc and a brake caliper.

A braking system includes a brake stack; a first brake cavity operably coupled to the brake stack, the first brake cavity including a first plurality of brake actuators; a second brake cavity operably coupled to the brake stack, the second brake cavity including a second plurality of brake actuators; and a brake control module, the brake control module being configured to activate either the first plurality of brake actuators or both the first plurality of brake actuators and the second plurality of brake actuators in response to an input brake load.

An electric drive for an electrohydraulic brake system, having a housing and a stator-rotor unit received by the housing. The stator-rotor unit has a stator with an arrangement of a plurality of magnetizable, pole-forming stator teeth. The stator teeth are subdivided into separate tooth pairs inserted into the housing. Each of the tooth pairs is wrapped with its own common metal wire forming a part of the coil, the two wire ends of which are electrically contacted with a separate housing insert made of plastic, which is joined to the housing and thereby covers the stator-rotor unit. The individual stator teeth are braced against one another in the housing while lying on one another and are braced against the housing.

A wheel module for a vehicle, in particular for an electric motorcycle or electric scooter, includes a wheel axle and a wheel. The wheel having a wheel rim and said wheel rim being rotatably mounted on the wheel axle; and including a brake device for the wheel. The brake device having a brake pad and a brake disc for co-operating with the brake pad, said brake disc being axially movable in order to brake the wheel.

An adjustor for a secondary pump of a brake is provided, including: a main body, being integrally formed of one piece, including a cylinder and a handle connected to the cylinder, the cylinder having a chamber thereinside, the handle having a passage in communication with the chamber; a piston, movably received in the chamber; a blocking member, connected to the cylinder; and a rod, connected to the piston and extending through the cylinder.

A multi-piston disengagement system for a vehicle braking device includes an annular housing formed from a main housing and a housing cover, and a plurality of hydraulic actuation assemblies. The annular housing includes a main axis defining an axial direction, a plurality of housing portions, a plurality of pressure chambers, and a flow channel fluidically connecting the plurality of pressure chambers. Each one of the plurality of pressure chambers is arranged in a respective one of the plurality of housing portions and arranged to be filled with a fluid. Each one of the plurality of hydraulic actuation assemblies includes a piston arranged in a respective one of the plurality of pressure chambers and axially movable therein. The piston is arranged to displace in an actuation stroke for introducing an actuation force into the vehicle braking device when a hydraulic pressure is applied to the fluid.

In the case of a hydraulic vehicle brake, having a brake caliper (12), having a brake piston (16), having a receiving bore (14) for the brake piston (16), and having a brake piston seal (32) that acts between the brake caliper (12) and the brake piston (16), the brake piston seal (32) is designed as a composite part, with a composite of a base component (34) and a reinforcement insert (36). The reinforcement insert (36) provides the brake piston seal (32) with a degree of elasticity in an axial direction, whereby, after the brake piston (16) has been displaced in the direction of brake pads (22), the brake piston seal (32) displaces the brake piston (16) in the opposite direction.

An air disc brake for a road vehicle is proposed, having a mechanism for causing retraction of the brake pads when the brakes are no longer applied, to avoid parasitic drag caused by continued contact of the brake pads against the brake disc. The proposed mechanism includes a pin located in a fixed position relative to one brake pad, and extending through an aperture in the other brake pad. A coil spring is supported on the pin, and pushes the brake pads apart. Where the pin extends through the aperture the extent of the pin provides an indication of the wear state of the pads and disc, which is visible through apertures in the wheel rim.
