An adapter of a brake system includes a body that extends around a portion of an axle of a vehicle system. The body may include an interior portion that is positioned between a center passage of the body and an exterior portion of the body in a radial direction away from the center passage. A hub coupling feature is positioned on the interior portion of the body and may be coupled with a portion of a wheel hub of the vehicle system. A brake disc coupling feature is positioned on the exterior portion of the body and may be coupled with a portion of a brake disc assembly. The wheel hub and the brake disc assembly are incompatible such that the wheel hub is prohibited from being directly coupled with the brake disc assembly.

An electromechanical brake comprising mobile induced elements or sectors or frames (2), the number of mobile induced elements (2) or sectors being at least three, where one of the sectors acts faster than the rest, and where one of the sectors acts in a delayed manner with respect to the rest of the sectors in the case of an emergency, said time-delayed actuation being achieved by means of the antiparallel arrangement of a diode (6) on the coil (5) associated with said sector. Smooth and progressive stop is thus achieved in the case of an emergency.

A disc/brake friction torque for railway vehicles consisting of at least one pad comprising at least one friction element and a disc. The friction element is made of a sintered material comprising copper, iron, graphite, 0.02 to 1.5% by weight of molybdenum, 1 to 3% by weight of chrome and a porosity ranging from 20 to 35%; and the disc is made of cast iron comprising 0.05 to 2% by weight of chrome, 0.05 to 2% by weight of molybdenum, 0.1 to 2% by weight of nickel.

A bicycle disc brake rotor is provided. The bicycle disc brake rotor includes a friction disc having a center axis and including a first braking surface and a second braking surface. The bicycle disc brake rotor also includes a mounting adapter attached to a bicycle wheel and coupled to the friction disc through a coupling structure, wherein the coupling structure includes a first mating surface pair comprising a first adapter surface and a first disc surface, and a second mating surface pair comprising a second adapter surface and a second disc surface.

A braking and/or clamping device for a shaft guided in relation to a basic body, includes an actuating assembly (10) and a shaft-coupling assembly (80). The actuating assembly comprises a split housing (11) which has two bending plates (15, 16) which can bulge elastically in certain regions. The bending plates each have gripper jaws (23, 24) with frictional surfaces (31, 32). A sealed pressure chamber (37), which can be filled with a pressure medium, is situated between the bending plates. Parts of a shaft-coupling assembly project between the clamping zones, said parts establishing the linking to the braked or clamped shaft. When the pressure in the pressure chamber is relieved, the frictional surfaces of the actuating assembly can be applied to the frictional surfaces of the shaft-coupling assembly, thereby providing the braking and/or clamping force.

A friction disk includes a friction disk core having a first surface with multiple channels extending radially across the first surface. The friction disk may further include a first wear liner having two wear liner segments each configured to be coupled to the first surface of the friction disk core to form an annular liner and each including a wear surface, a non-wear surface, and a rib extending from the non-wear surface and configured to be received by one of the multiple channels.
