A brake apparatus for a vehicle may include: a stator unit fixed to an inside of a wheel of the vehicle, a rotor unit disposed to face the stator unit and rotated by electromagnetic interaction with the stator unit, a disc unit connected to the rotor unit and rotated together with the rotor unit, a pair of caliper units disposed on both sides of the disc unit and configured to generate a braking force by contacting with the disc unit as hydraulic pressure is applied, and a transfer unit connected to the pair of caliper units, and configured to transfer hydraulic pressure applied to one of the pair of caliper units to a remaining one of the pair of caliper units.

A fixed-caliper brake has a combined electromechanical/hydraulic force transmission, including a fixed caliper, a brake disc, a first brake piston device which is arranged on or in the brake caliper and is designed to directly or indirectly transmit a first pressure force to a first lateral face of the brake disc associated therewith by way of at least one brake piston, a second brake piston device which is arranged on or in the brake caliper and is designed to directly or indirectly transmit a second pressure force to a second lateral face of the brake disc associated therewith and opposite the first lateral face by way of at least one brake piston, and an electromechanical actuator which is arranged on or in the brake caliper and is configured to exert a force onto the first brake piston device and onto the second brake piston device, respectively, when actuated. The force is further transmitted by the particular brake piston device, at least proportionally, as the first or second pressure force, respectively, onto the particular associated lateral face of the brake disc. The electromechanical actuator and the second brake piston device are hydraulically coupled to one another to cause the exertion of force from the electromechanical actuator to the second brake piston device.

Flat mount brake calipers for bicycles are described herein. An example flat mount brake caliper includes a caliper body defining a first piston cylinder and a second piston cylinder. The caliper body has a flat mount surface with a first threaded bore and a second threaded bore extending into the flat mount surface. The first and second threaded bores are configured to receive threaded fasteners to couple the caliper body to a frame of the bicycle. The first and second piston cylinders are arranged such that projections of the first and second threaded bores do not intersect the first or second piston cylinders. The flat mount brake caliper also includes a brake pad and first and second pistons disposed in the respective first and second piston cylinders to move the brake pad relative to the caliper body.

The invention relates to a disc brake, comprising a brake carrier, a brake caliper, brake shoes, and an actuating piston. The brake carrier has at least one mounting point for mounting on a vehicle. The actuating piston is displaceably accommodated on the brake caliper and is actuatable for carrying out a service brake function of the disc brake. At least one further actuating piston is provided, which in the direction of its longitudinal axis is displaceably accommodated on the brake caliper. For carrying out the service brake function, the at least two actuating pistons are actuatable, and for carrying out a parking brake function, one of the actuating pistons is actuatable. The invention further relates to a disc brake system and a parking brake system.
