A method of servicing a brake system, comprising: (a) moving an actuator of the brake system from a first position to a second position; (b) conducting a manual operation on the brake system when or after the actuator reaches the second position; and (c) after completing the manual operation, moving the actuator to a third position.

A coupling system having an inner tube, a collar, a circular gasket concentrically disposed between the inner tube and the collar; a pair of CAM levers structurally engageable with the collar, and a handle connecting the pair of CAM levers such that a user can single-handedly move the handle between the locked position and the unlocked position.

An example rotational joint assembly for a robotic medical system, the rotational joint assembly comprising at least one arm segment and a rotational joint provided at one end of the arm segment. The rotational joint is to allow the arm segment to rotate about a rotational axis. The rotational joint comprising a brake to lock rotation of the arm segment at the rotational joint and an actuator to selectively engage or disengage the brake. The actuator comprising a cam having two stable regions separated by two transition regions, the two stable regions comprising a first stable region corresponding to engagement of the brake and a second stable region corresponding to disengagement of the brake.

A lift vehicle comprises a base having a plurality of wheels, a battery arranged within the base, a drive motor powered by the battery and configured to drive at least one of the plurality of wheels and propel the base, a retractable lift including a first end coupled to the base and being movable between an extended position and a retracted position, a work platform supported by a second end of the retractable lift, and a linear actuator having a lift motor with a rotor. The lift motor is powered by the battery, and the linear actuator is coupled to the retractable lift so that rotation of the rotor moves the retractable lift between the extended position and the retracted position. The lift vehicle further includes an electromagnetic brake coupled to a first side of the lift motor.

The present invention provides a safety training device capable of being attached to an existing front-wheeled walker. The safety training device a modified ski unit, a braking mechanism, a brake cable and hose. When improper transfer techniques are utilized by a patient, the modified ski unit engages the brake and cable hose to exert a force to the braking mechanism. The braking mechanism activates a braking member on the wheel of the walker, halting further movement of the patient and walker. Simultaneously, a striking member of the braking mechanism makes contact with the frame of the walker, producing an audible cue, alerting the patient and any healthcare professionals present that improper technique is being used in a transfer.

A disc brake (1) for motor vehicles includes at least two brake pads (25, 26), an application unit (4) with a setting spindle (5) arranged axially in the direction of the brake pads (25, 26), and a resetting device (7) for central adjustment of the setting spindle (5) after reaching a degree of wear of the brake pads (25, 26). The resetting device (7) has a housing (8), a sensor (9), a resetting shaft (10), and an adapter (11) with a decentral output (12). In one example, the adapter (11) has a cover (13) and a chain drive (14) for to transmitting an actuating movement from the decentral output (12) to the resetting shaft (10).

A scooter motor includes a stator unit, a rotor unit and a brake unit. The stator unit is fixedly mounted on the fixed shaft of the motor, and the rotor unit is rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft. The brake unit includes a friction plate component and an electromagnetic clutch component. The electromagnetic clutch component is configured to drive the friction plate component to press to brake. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the scooter motor drives the rotor unit to rotate by the cooperation between the stator unit and the rotor unit to drive the scooter, additionally, the stator unit controls the rotation of the rotor unit by using the friction plate component and the electromagnetic clutch component to realize the braking of the scooter.

An electromechanical brake system includes a brake actuator having a power transmission for transmitting an actuating force to a brake pad, the power transmission including a rotatable shaft. A coupler with a locking element can be controlled so that the locking element is engaged with the rotatable shaft and blocks its rotation or so that the locking element is disengaged from the rotatable shaft so that the rotatable shaft can be rotated. The brake actuator has an interface configured to be connected to the locking element and to engage or disengage the locking element from the rotatable shaft.

An output shaft is configured by connecting a first shaft and a second shaft, coaxially arranged with each other, by a reverse input cutoff clutch 20; an end portion on one side in an axial direction of the second shaft located on an opposite side from the first shaft with a gear portion sandwiched in between in the axial direction being rotatably supported with respect to a fixed portion by a bearing device; the reverse input cutoff clutch having a function that, when rotational torque is input to the first shaft, transmits the rotational torque input to the first shaft to the second shaft, and when rotational torque is reversely input to the second shaft, completely cuts off the rotational torque reversely input to the second shaft and does not transmit the rotational torque to the first shaft, or transmits part of the rotational torque to the first shaft and cuts off the remaining portion.

A brake disc release device, a turning device, and an elevator rescue package and method. The brake disc release device comprises: an actuating mechanism; a gear connected to a first end of the actuating mechanism; a first slider capable of sliding along a first guide piece and comprising a rack portion for engagement with the gear and a first wedge portion; a second slider capable of sliding along a second guide piece and comprising a second wedge portion for engagement with the first wedge portion of the first slider; and a pulling cable having a first end connected to the second slider and a second end connected to the brake disc.
