A housing for a brake system for attachment to an axle of a vehicle, the brake system comprising a braking mechanism having a rotor attached to a hub, and a caliper for receiving a portion of the outer circumference of the rotor permitting stopping rotation of the rotor, the housing comprising a body defining the space for containment of the braking mechanism, and a circular portion having an outer periphery configured to divert debris generated during operation of the vehicle from the outer periphery, wherein the outer periphery comprises a plurality of channels arranged in a spaced apart relationship with respect to each other, the channels extending transversally from one side of the housing to the other side of the housing to divert the debris away from the outer periphery.

A brake assembly adapted to be mounted to the flange of an axle housing. The brake assembly includes a stationary plate having a plurality of threaded holes therein. The brake assembly also includes a mounting sleeve positioned adjacent to the axle housing flange opposite the stationary plate. A plurality of holes are provided through the mounting sleeve and are aligned with the threaded holes in the stationary plate. A bolt is received through each of the holes in the mounting sleeve and the aligned holes in the axle housing flange and the threaded holes in the stationary plate to secure the brake to the axle housing. The mounting sleeve may be provided in two or more separate pieces in order to facilitate installation.

A brake (10) includes a housing (12) formed from a first housing portion (14) capable of receiving a second housing portion (16). The first housing portion (14) houses a piston (18) and a plurality of springs (20), and the second housing portion (16) houses an alternating arrangement of discs (52) for enacting a braking function. The second housing portion (16) further includes torque pin holes (80) for receiving torque pins (82) therein. Each torque pin (82) is secured with a plug (84) to secure stationary discs (54A, 54B, 54C) in place. The stationary discs (54A, 54B, 54C) have extending ears (74) positioned between torque pin grooves (76), which further receive the torque pins (82).

The present invention discloses a concealed dual moving disc brake, comprising left and light calipers, static discs, moving discs, and a drawing arm and brake cable. The calipers are fixed together via a caliper-fastening screw. The static discs are riveted within the calipers. In rolling paths of the static discs, a left and a right steel ball are provided. The drawing arm is mounted inside the static discs. The brake pads are moved toward each other during braking, such that the disc is located centrally without deformation to prolong service life. Simple and easy mounting adjustment is performed, only if the brake lever is held to lock the disc brake. The drawing arm is concealed within the head cover to form a succinct and aesthetic appearance. This product is the connection between the high-end mechanical disc brake and the low-end oil pressure disc brake with significant market prospect and potential.

The invention relates to a method for operating a combined clutch and brake device (5) of a punch press (1) equipped with dry friction linings (7, 8). Thereby, the friction linings (7, 8) are arranged in a chamber (R) which is sealed off from the environment of the punch press (1), and which is filled with a dry and oil-free gaseous medium, in particular with dry oil-free air. This effectively prevents moisture and oil mist from entering the region of the friction linings from the environment of the press, and a constant friction coefficient can be achieved over the mechanical service life of the friction linings.

A vehicle-mounted apparatus includes: a motor unit configured to apply a rotational driving force to a wheel of a vehicle and including a drive motor and a speed reducer that reduces a speed of rotation of an output shaft of the drive motor; and a friction brake that reduces rotation of the wheel. The friction brake includes: at least one rotation disc provided so as to be rotatable integrally with the output shaft; a housing that is a non-rotatable member; at least one friction plate held by the housing so as to be movable relative to the housing in the axial direction such that rotation of the at least one friction plate relative to the housing about the axis is restricted; and a pressing device that presses the at least one friction plate against the at least one rotation disc.

A motor includes a housing containing a rotor and stator. A brake assembly is adapted to restrain rotation of the rotor. A brake controller includes a brake diagnostics system. At least one vibration sensor is located in the housing and provides vibration data to the brake diagnostics system in response to a brake operation cycle of the brake assembly. The vibration data is used by the brake diagnostics system to assess an operative condition of the brake assembly.

A method for manufacturing a monoblock brake caliper in which brake hydraulic lines, which are pipes, are provided inside a caliper body and a brake hose fixing device is provided on the outside the caliper body, and a plurality of cylinders are cast by sand casting. Prior to the casting process for forming the caliper body, the brake hydraulic lines are pressed into a sand cast, and then the caliper body is formed by the casting process. The brake hose fixing device comprises: a brake hose fixing omnidirectional bolt which fixes by rotating into a thread on the caliper body; the brake hose seated on the brake hose fixing omnidirectional bolt; and a fixing nut which fixes the brake hose fixing omnidirectional bolt and brake hose by rotating same from the center thereof.

A drive device for driving and rotating a wheel includes an axle shaft, a hub to which rotation of the axle shaft is conveyed, a plurality of fasteners for securing the wheel to the hub, a wet brake, a housing, an oil seal, and a cover. The wet brake is configured to restrain the rotation of the axle shaft. The housing accommodates the axle shaft and the wet brake. The oil seal is disposed between the housing and a part of the hub that is disposed inward of the fasteners in a radial direction of the hub. The cover has an annular shape. The cover is disposed in a space formed between the hub and the housing, and is secured to the housing. The cover is configured to cover the plurality of fasteners.
