A wet friction disc includes a friction surface and a lubrication groove through which a lubricant supplied to the friction surface flows. The lubrication groove has a plurality of circumferential groove portions that extends in a circumferential direction and a plurality of intersecting groove portions that extends in directions intersecting the circumferential direction. At least one of the circumferential groove portions has a through-hole that extends through the wet friction disc between an opposite surface facing s mating member and a surface on the opposite side in an axial direction.

Described herein is a system, method of use and Self Retracting Lifeline (SRL) apparatus using a system that governs a dynamic response between members causing a halt in relative motion between the members. Magnetic interactions, eddy current drag forces and centrifugal and/or inertial forces may provide various mechanisms of governing movement.

An electric brake apparatus of a vehicle includes a caliper body formed with a cylinder section and a boost force support section disposed to face the cylinder section with a brake disc interposed therebetween; an internal motor installed in the cylinder section, and generating a rotational displacement by application of current; a push rod disposed coaxially with the internal motor; a ball-in-ramp disposed between the internal motor and the push rod, converting the rotation displacement of the internal motor into a linear displacement, and transferring the linear displacement to the push rod; a piston disposed in an open part of the cylinder section, pushed and moved by the push rod; a first friction pad coupled to the piston, and disposed on one side of the brake disc; and a second friction pad coupled to the boost force support section, and disposed on the other side of the brake disc.

A clutch structure that includes a motor to directly drive a rotary disc of an actuation unit, and the actuation unit further directly act on a push unit, so as to achieve reduction of size. Further, the push unit has a spring holder that drives a push bracket to press against a clutching unit, and the push bracket and the clutching unit are rotatably in synchronization with each other and a group of balls is arranged between the push bracket and the spring holder, such that smooth rotation can be maintained even during the process of pressing to thereby effectively reduce pause and setback incurring in coupling and connection and also to efficiently establish a transmission clutching force to have the operability not affected by the delay.

The invention relates to a mechanical non-return mechanism for an aircraft application, wherein the aircraft application can be part of a flight control. The non-return mechanism comprises at least one drag brake, at least one main brake, and at least one ball ramp mechanism.

A spreader unit for a drum brake is provided with a readjustment device which ensures that the clearance remains substantially constant even in the case of wear on the brake linings. The readjustment device is arranged between actuating pistons and changes the spacing of the actuating pistons in at least one readjustment step when an actuating travel of the first and second brake shoe holders has exceeded a travel setpoint value. A thermally actuable blocking device mechanically prevents the execution of the readjustment step by the readjustment device at a temperature above a temperature setpoint value

A brake actuator system may comprise a brake actuator comprising a ball screw, a ball nut coupled to the ball screw, and a ram coupled to a ram end of the ball nut; a position sensor coupled to the brake actuator; a processor in electronic communication with the brake actuator and the position sensor; and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The operations may comprise commanding the brake actuator to translate the ball nut in a first direction toward a brake stack; detecting the pusher reaching a furthest forward position; and commanding the brake actuator to translate the ball nut in a second direction opposite the first direction for a predetermined retraction distance.

A disconnect mechanism comprises an input shaft defining a drive axis, a disconnect shaft selectively engaged with the input shaft to be driven about the drive axis by the input shaft, and a disconnect ramp operatively connected to the disconnect shaft to axially move the disconnect shaft between at least a first axial position and a second axial position. A disconnect pawl is selectively engaged with the disconnect ramp shaft, and a brake is selectively engaged with the disconnect shaft in the second axial position.

Disclosed is an actuator for a brake device. An actuator for a brake device according to embodiment of the disclosure includes a housing accommodating a motor, a power transmission unit connected to the motor, and a reduction gear unit connected to the power transmission unit; and a cover covering an open top of the housing and having a shaft support portion; wherein the reduction gear unit includes a worm wheel including a concave receiving groove on an upper surface thereof and a locking rib provided in the receiving groove, a sun gear supported rotatably on a bottom of the receiving groove and having a support rib contactable with the locking rib during rotation, and a clutch spring provided in a state of being slidably wound around an outer circumferential surface of the shaft support portion, and configured to tighten or loosen selectively an outer circumferential surface of the shaft support portion according to a rotation direction when the worm wheel and the sun gear are rotated relative to each other.
