Provided in a device for activating a wheel brake of a vehicle, having a tensioning installation which has a spindle drive, are two electric motors, the first electric motor by way of a first gear mechanism acting bi-directionally on the spindle drive. In order for the position of the tensioning installation, once attained, to be fixed in a parking brake, a second electric motor by way of a second gear mechanism, which has a self-locking worm gear mechanism and by way of at least one releasable coupling that acts uni-directionally in the activating direction, is coupled to the spindle drive. The coupling is composed of a cam on an output shaft of the first gear mechanism, and a pin on an output element of the worm gear mechanism. Since the cam cannot be reversed beyond the pin, a latching position of the tensioning installation is defined in this way.

A brake drum includes an outer drum, at least one layer of heat resistant adhesive, provided at least on the inner radial surface of the outer drum, and an inner drum provided inside the outer drum connected with the outer drum via the at least one adhesive layer.

The invention relates to an actuating device for an internal shoe brake, including an automatic adjusting device with an adjusting lever which includes a guide track in the form of a guiding slot with two opposing track surfaces which cooperate with opposing sides of a housing-fixed guide element in order to convert a displacement of the adjusting lever relative to the housing-fixed guide element into pivoting movements of the adjusting lever.

A brake system and wear monitoring for use in motor vehicles includes a transponder, wherein the transponder is configured and positioned in the brake system such that the transponder is deactivated by an engagement geometry of the brake system when a preselected wear state of the brake system is reached.

A rotational friction brake regulated by the rate of change of angular speed is disclosed. The rotational friction brake includes: a first body, a second body rotationally attached to said first body, the second body rotating around a rotational center axis of said second body, and at least one braking arm rotationally attached to said second body in a pivot point. The pivot point is eccentrically offset to said rotational center axis. The at least one braking arm comprises a braking member arranged to frictionally engage a part of said first body. The at least one braking arm has a mass center placed at a distance from said pivot point that is longer than a distance from said pivot point to said rotational center axis. The braking member is arranged to frictionally engage said part of said first body. A fishing reel comprising a rotational friction brake is also disclosed.
