A fastening device for a vehicle disc brake having a brake carrier includes holding fixture formed in the brake carrier for receiving a speed sensor. The brake carrier includes fastening members for mounting to a flange of the vehicle. The speed sensor is used for an anti-lock braking system to detect wheel slip. The holding fixture is in the form of a bore. The bore may be formed in the strut facing the axle or in an extension of one of the fastening members of the brake carrier. The speed sensor is aligned in its extension direction axially with an exciter in or on the brake disc or in the axle. The speed sensor is attached to a cable that does not need to be guided past the vehicle flange.

A braking system is presented that comprises a brake sphere rotor that is mounted to the wheel hub of an axle. The braking system incorporates a caliper arm assembly that comprises at least one caliper arm. Each caliper arm further comprises hemispherical friction material located between the caliper arm and the brake sphere rotor.

It is possible to prevent occurrence of a resonance phenomenon of a hydraulic unit and to improve attachability/detachability of the hydraulic unit to/from a bracket. A support section (42, 43) includes: a fixture member (80) that is fixed to a housing (30) for a hydraulic unit (10); and a vibration absorbing member (75) that is interposed between the housing (30) and a bracket (41) and has a through-hole (75a) through which the fixture member (80) passes. The vibration absorbing member (75) includes two vibration absorbing members (75B, 75C, 75D) having different rebound resilience from each other. In a state where the vibration absorbing member (75) is partially accommodated in a recessed section (47) of the bracket (41), the vibration absorbing member (75) is held between the housing (30) and the bracket (41).

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.

The invention relates to a vehicle brake, in particular a utility vehicle disc brake, having a brake carrier with at least one brake pad holder, at least one brake pad which is guided so as to be axially displaceable and supported in the brake pad holder, and a brake caliper which is axially movable relative to the brake carrier. According to the invention, it is proposed that the brake carrier is structurally reinforced on the run-out side relative to the run-in side, and at least one running direction indicator for indicating the first rotational direction is arranged on the brake carrier.

The application relates to a brake caliper for a disk brake system comprising a caliper bracket, a caliper housing, a first connecting means and a second connecting means, wherein the first connecting means and the second connecting means may each be configured to mount the caliper bracket to the caliper housing or wherein the first connecting means and the second connecting means may each be configured to mount the caliper bracket to an axle assembly, characterized in that a mass of the first connecting means is different from a mass of the second connecting means.

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.

Provided is a caliper unit for a brake of a vehicle, in particular, a compact caliper unit capable of reducing a size, a weight, and a production cost of a component and improving fuel efficiency. The caliper unit for the brake includes an inner pad and an outer pad, which press both surfaces of a disc to generate braking force, a torque member fixed to a vehicle body and coupled to be movable forward and backward so that the inner pad and the outer pad press the disc, or the pressing of the inner pad and the outer pad to the disc is released, a caliper housing including a cylinder to which a brake hydraulic pressure is applied and a reaction force support part configured to press the outer pad to the disc, and a piston installed in the cylinder and moving forward and backward depending on a state of the brake hydraulic pressure applied to the cylinder to press the inner pad to the disc. Each of the inner pad and the outer pad has a circular shape, and a contact surface of the piston, which is in contact with the inner pad to press the inner pad during braking, has a circular shape.

A disc brake assembly includes an anchor bracket, a guide pin, a sliding mechanism, and a damping member. The anchor bracket may have at least one bore formed therein. The guide pin may be adapted to be disposed in the at least one bore and slidably support a brake caliper relative to the anchor bracket. The sliding mechanism may be adapted to be disposed in the at least one bore and to slidably support the guide pin in the at least one bore. The damping member may damp sliding motion of the guide pin relative to the anchor bracket.

A disc brake caliper and the body of an ABS system are mounted on a fork arm of a bicycle by means of a single adapter support that can be removably connected to the fork arm, and configured to removably support both the caliper body of the disc brake and the ABS system.
