A cover for temporary protective shielding of a brake includes a body. The body has a cylindrical structure with one open end; a central position of an upper bottom surface of the cover body includes a central hole; a front-end position of the upper bottom surface includes a downwardly recessed mounting groove for mounting a brake caliper; a limiting step for position limiting is provided at a connection and transition position between a front-end inner circumferential wall and an inner circumferential wall of the body; the inner circumferential wall includes snap joints and heat radiating grooves; the inner circumferential wall of the protective cover body includes compensation columns that protrude outwards from the inner circumferential wall. The cover is mounted on a peripheral edge of the brake protective plate. By using compensation columns with a hollow semi-cylindrical structure, the cover can be universally mounted at peripheral edges of protective plates having various shapes.

Method for producing a mechanically and preferably machined cast iron or grey cast iron surface, in particular on a brake disc, with increased wear and corrosion resistance, characterized in that said surface is subjected to a water jet treatment—usually according to the so-called fluid jet process, which is adjusted so that it completely or at least partially clears the cavities opened by the machining, which contain a graphite inclusion surrounded by the basic structure, so that in the latter case the level of the graphite inclusion lies below the outer surface of the basic structure surrounding the cavity, whereupon a diffusion layer is applied by nitrocarburizing and an oxide layer is applied on the diffusion layer.

A brake dust particle filter for an assembly with a brake disc is provided with a ring section-shaped housing that at least partially surrounds the brake disc in a mounted state. The housing has a housing interior. The housing is made of a metal material. The housing interior has a lowermost point and has at the lowermost point an axially embodied drainage cutout for drainage of a fluid out of the housing interior. The housing has an outwardly positioned, mostly axially expanding guide arranged at the drainage cutout for guiding the fluid. An assembly with a brake disc and a brake caliper arranged at the brake disc is provided with such a brake dust particle filter that is arranged at least partially in a bottom region of the brake disc.

A system, and associated method, for reducing oxidation of a friction disk may include a braking assembly comprising the friction disk and a conduit coupled to the braking assembly, with the conduit being in selectable fluid providing communication with the braking assembly. That is, the conduit may be configured to deliver inert fluid to the braking assembly, thus reducing the concentration of oxygen in the vicinity of the friction disks and thus reducing/mitigating oxidation of the friction disks.

Brake pads are prepared using a formulation of friction material of the copper-free type (Low-Steel or Organic Non-Asbestos) and at least one friction surface of a brake disc, which is intended to cooperate with the brake pad, is covered with an anti-wear and anti-corrosion coating consisting of a surface layer of chromium carbide particles (Cr3C2) dispersed in a metallic matrix consisting of a NiCr alloy, and coupled to a second layer consisting of selected combinations of metallic materials, chosen from the group consisting of: Cr3C2-high density NiCr, NiAl alloys, FeNiCrMoSiC alloys, metallic nickel, NiCr alloys, and/or any combination of the above.

A system and method of checking sealing of a brake caliper housing. The method may include determining a level of moisture in a cavity of a brake caliper housing with a sensor. In another configuration, the method may determine whether a detected pressure inside the cavity remains stable for a predetermined period of time.

A brake system comprising a brake disc, a wheel hub connected to the brake disc, and a bearing assembly mounted around the wheel hub, the brake system further comprising: a first electric circuit embedded inside the brake disc; a second electric circuit embedded inside the wheel hub and electrically connected with the first electric circuit; and a third electric circuit embedded inside the bearing assembly and electrically connected with the second electric circuit, wherein when an electric current flows to the first electric circuit through the second and third electric circuits, the first electric circuit generates heat for applying to the brake disc.

A motor vehicle disc brake lining having friction material fixed on the front side of a back plate, and a resetting spring fixed releasably or non-releasably on the rear side of the back plate with a base and an elastic resetting spring bow. The resetting spring bow sits elastically on an assigned abutment of a holder such that the motor vehicle disc brake lining can be reset to be axially distanced from a brake disc in the released brake state. The friction lining resetting spring has a spring characteristic curve which is additively composed of a plurality of portions including a plurality of quasi-linear straight portions and, interposed in-between, at least one curved transition portion, each having mutually differently defined gradient angles, and among the portions there is at least one portion which is at least partially plastically deformable and serves to automatically allow demand-oriented spring-back based on wear compensation.
