A fastening device for a vehicle disc brake having a brake carrier includes holding fixture formed in the brake carrier for receiving a speed sensor. The brake carrier includes fastening members for mounting to a flange of the vehicle. The speed sensor is used for an anti-lock braking system to detect wheel slip. The holding fixture is in the form of a bore. The bore may be formed in the strut facing the axle or in an extension of one of the fastening members of the brake carrier. The speed sensor is aligned in its extension direction axially with an exciter in or on the brake disc or in the axle. The speed sensor is attached to a cable that does not need to be guided past the vehicle flange.

A bearing assembly for a brake carrier for a utility vehicle, includes a retaining element and a brake support element, wherein the retaining element is fixed to an axle or a chassis component by form fit, substance bonding and/or force fit, wherein the axle extends along an axial direction, wherein the brake support element has a first mounting region, wherein the retaining element has a first retaining region, and wherein the first mounting region is configured to be brought into direct or indirect engagement with the first retaining region such that a displacement along a first transverse direction between the retaining element and brake support element is prevented by form fit.

A suspension device of a motor-vehicle wheel includes a support member of the motor-vehicle wheel connectable to the motor-vehicle structure by means of one or more suspension members, a brake disc connected in rotation with the motor-vehicle wheel, a brake caliper associated with the brake disc and a brake disc cover. The brake caliper is formed in a single piece with the support member of the motor-vehicle wheel by means of additive manufacturing technology.

A braking structure for an in-wheel motor drive device includes: an in-wheel motor drive device including a wheel hub bearing unit (11) and a motor unit, the wheel hub bearing unit (11) including an outer ring (12) connected to a road wheel (W) and a brake rotor (BR), inner rings (13) disposed coaxially with the outer ring (12), and a plurality of rolling elements (14) arranged in annular clearance between the outer ring and the inner rings, and the motor unit being configured to drive the outer ring; a carrier member (17) coupled to a vehicle body-side member and attached to and fixed to an inner fixing member (15) for the inner rings (13); and a brake caliper bracket (18) that has its inner end (18b) connected to the carrier member (17) and that supports a brake caliper (19) at its outer end (18a).

A steering suspension of a vehicle includes a suspension upright and a mechanical component consisting of a radially outer ring of a wheel hub unit or of a rolling bearing forming part of a wheel hub unit; wherein the outer ring is provided integral in one piece with a flange and a steering arm, extending radially cantilevered from the outer ring and the flange, with which it is also integral in one piece; on the side opposite to the steering arm the flange is provided integral in one piece with a pair of axially drilled radial lugs, configured to support, in use, a brake caliper.

Steering suspension module including a shock absorber strut, a suspension upright, an outer ring of a wheel hub unit attached integrally to a front face of the suspension upright, and a ball joint for articulation with a control arm; wherein the suspension strut consists of a cup-shaped body made entirely of continuous, sheared and bent metal sheet, and the outer ring is provided integral in one piece with, and radially cantilevered from, a steering arm extending transversely cantilevered from the cup-shaped body, on the side of the cup-shaped body; the shock absorber strut is constrained within a first seat of the cup-shaped body and the ball joint is made as an independent unit constrained integrally with a second seat of the cup-shaped body in a position facing the first seat, the ball joint projecting inferiorly cantilevered from the cup-shaped body.

The present disclosure relates to the positioning of a disc brake caliper mounted to a rigid bicycle fork. In one aspect, the disc brake caliper is attached to a portion in front of the fork and the front wheel axle, hence exposing the disc brake caliper to the maximum cooling potential of the airflow. Further, the disc brake caliper is positioned roughly horizontally in-line with the wheel axle to provide aerodynamic benefits for the trailing front wheel axle.

A radial mounting torque plate for mounting a disk brake component for heavy-duty vehicles, the torque plate comprising an annular portion and a pair of mounting arms. The annular portion is formed with an opening for receiving an axle of the heavy-duty vehicle. The mounting arms are integrally formed with and extend longitudinally outward in opposite directions from the annular portion and have a T-shaped cross-section.

A steering suspension of a vehicle includes a suspension upright and a mechanical component consisting of a radially outer ring of a wheel hub unit or of a rolling bearing forming part of a wheel hub unit. The outer ring is provided integral in one piece with a flange and a steering arm, extending radially cantilevered from the outer ring and the flange, with which it is also integral in one piece. On the side opposite to the steering arm the flange is integral in one piece with a pair of axially drilled radial lugs, configured to support, in use, a brake caliper.

An apparatus and methods are provided for a braking system for a front portal drivetrain assembly to improve the mechanical strength and performance of vehicle drivetrains. The braking system includes a brake caliper coupled with a drivetrain and a brake disc coupled to a drive axle such that a periphery of the brake disc passes within the brake caliper. A front portal spindle assembly includes a pinion gear assembly and an output gear assembly that provide a gear reduction at a front wheel of the vehicle. Upon activation of the braking system, the brake caliper applies pressure to the brake disc to slow rotation of the drive axle while the gear reduction at the front wheel contributes to engine braking during deceleration of the vehicle. The gear reduction of the front portal spindle assembly facilitates reducing the size of the brake caliper, the brake disc, or a combination thereof.
