Brake dust particle filter and disc brake assembly comprising a brake dust particle filter

A brake dust particle filter for a disc brake assembly with brake disc and brake caliper has a ring segment-shaped housing accommodating the brake disc in the interior. The housing has first and second axially spaced apart housing sidewalls and a housing peripheral wall extending radially outwardly in circumferential direction and arranged between the first and second housing sidewalls. A first housing part includes the first and/or second housing sidewall such that the first and/or second housing sidewall is positionable axially displaced to the brake disc. A second housing part includes at least the housing peripheral wall. First and second housing parts are connected by a pivot mechanism having a pivot axis extending parallel to an axis of rotation of the brake disc. Due to the pivot mechanism, the housing peripheral wall is pivotable relative to the first housing part while the first and/or second housing sidewall remains stationary.

ELECTRORHEOLOGICAL BRAKE

A brake assembly is suitable for use with a vehicle wheel that has a rim rotatably mounted to an axle. The brake assembly includes a housing fixedly positioned relative to the axle and a plurality of disks disposed within the housing and fixedly positioned relative to the rim. A fluid is disposed within the housing and has a selectively variable viscosity. The viscosity of the fluid is selectively increased to increase a braking force applied to the wheel.

The invention at hand refers to a wheel disc brake assembly comprising a wheel rim, a coupler ring and an annular brake disc arranged in a concentric manner, wherein an outer surface of the coupler ring is connected to an inner surface of the wheel rim and an inner surface of the coupler ring is connected to an outer surface of the annular brake disc. The wheel disc brake assembly further comprises a caliper with at least two brake pads facing each other, wherein the caliper surrounds at least a part of the inner surface of the annular brake disc and the at least two brake pads are configured to press against opposite side faces of the annular brake disc.

BRAKING SYSTEM, AXLE SUPPORT UNIT FOR A VEHICLE, VEHICLE HAVING SUCH AN AXLE SUPPORT UNIT AND DRIVE UNIT

A braking system having a rotating element that rotates about an axis, and a braking device for braking the rotating element. The braking device has a first braking element that is movable between a rest position and a braking position and has an annular braking surface which is arranged concentrically with respect to the axis and has a brake disc which is co-rotationally connected to the rotating element and has first and second frictional surfaces. The annular braking surface of the first braking element is arranged at a distance from the brake disc in the rest position, and is in contact with the first frictional surface thereof in the braking position. A second braking element is arranged such that in the braking position the first braking element presses the brake disc against the second braking element such that the second braking element is in contact with the second frictional surface.
