    摘要: A steering assistance device for a vehicle includes an input shaft for introducing a torque from a steering column of the vehicle into the steering assistance device; a torque sensor, wherein the torque sensor is configured to detect the torque introduced via the input shaft and to provide a sensor signal which represents the detected torque; an output shaft for conducting the torque out of the steering assistance device; a gear unit, wherein the gear unit is configured to mechanically transmit the torque from the input shaft to the output shaft, wherein the gear unit is arranged within a steering housing; and a drive unit, wherein the drive unit is configured to charge the gear unit with a hydraulic working medium in a manner dependent on the sensor signal. The drive unit and the torque sensor are arranged so as to be in mechanical contact with the steering housing.

    摘要: A self-energizing disc brake includes a brake-internal hydraulic arrangement with a supply circuit and an expansion vessel; a brake application device having a cylinder for applying a brake pad toward a brake disc; a force transmission unit supporting the brake pad at a wedge angle on the brake application device; a tangential-force absorbing cylinder for switching over the wedge angle, which is operatively connected to the force transmission unit; an electric-motor actuator for acting on the brake application device via the hydraulic arrangement; and a control unit. The force transmission unit has a deflection lever and a shoulder element attached thereto. Rolling surfaces thereof are in contact with respective corresponding rolling surfaces of a brake application element of the cylinder and a brake pad support device. The deflection lever has a pressure section with a rolling surface in operative connection with the tangential-force absorbing cylinder.

    摘要: A method for controlling an electric pad wear compensator device of a disc brake arrangement, in particular for a motor vehicle, and a corresponding disk brake arrangement is provided. The disk brake arrangement includes control device that controls air clearance between a brake pad and a brake disk, a brake application device with a brake applicator lever coupled to the electric pad wear compensator device, and a readjustment spindle which receives at least a portion of the electric pad wear compensator device. The method for controlling the electric pad wear compensator device includes sensing the air clearance of the disc brake, comparing the detected air clearance with a preset value, and controlling the electric pad wear compensator device to adjust the air clearance to the preset value by energizing a solenoid of a coupling device of the electric pad wear compensator device during brake applicator lever movement.
