    摘要: In this disc brake, a pair of brake pads has recesses in the outer peripheral surfaces thereof. A pad spring has a first pressing section extending axially and provided to a base, the first pressing section pressing, toward the trailing side, a first section to be pressed which is provided on the trailing-side side surface of side surfaces which form the recess of a brake pad—and which are raised outward in the radial direction of a rotor. Also, the pad spring has a second pressing section extending axially and provided to the base, the second pressing section—pressing radially inward on the bottom surface of the recess of each of the pair of brake pads, the bottom surface being a second section to be pressed which is provided on an outer peripheral section.

    摘要: Example brake systems and apparatus for providing pitch control on bicycles are described herein. An example rear brake caliper described herein includes a caliper housing to be coupled to the bicycle. The caliper housing includes a first port to be fluidly coupled to a first fluid line fluidly coupled to a front brake actuator and a second port to be fluidly coupled to a second fluid line fluidly coupled to a front brake caliper. The rear brake caliper also includes a valve between the first port and the second port. The valve is operable to affect fluid flow between the first port and the second port.

    摘要: A hydraulic brake includes: an inner pad and an outer pad located to sandwich a rotor configured to rotate with a wheel between the inner pad and the outer pad; a wheel cylinder including a cylinder body including a cylinder bore, a hydraulic pressure chamber formed in the cylinder body, and a first piston liquid-tightly and slidably fitted in the cylinder bore and configured to be moved by a hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic pressure chamber so as to press the inner pad against the rotor; and a drive member configured to be moved, by the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic pressure chamber, in a direction opposite to a direction in which the first piston moves, so as to press the outer pad against the rotor. The cylinder body includes a fragile portion at a portion corresponding to the hydraulic pressure chamber.

    摘要: The invention relates to a braking and/or clamping device for a shaft guided in relation to a main body, comprising an actuation assembly and a shaft-coupling assembly. In this case, the actuation assembly comprises a split housing which has two bending plates which are elastically deformable in some regions. The bending plates each have tong jaws with friction surfaces, the respective surface normal of which are directed inwards. A sealed pressure chamber, which can be filled with a pressure medium, lies between the bending plates. Parts of a shaft-coupling assembly project between the clamping zones, said parts establishing the linking for the braked or clamped shaft. When the pressure in the pressure chamber is relieved, the frictional surfaces of the actuation assembly can be applied to the frictional surfaces of the shaft-coupling assembly, thereby producing the braking and/or clamping force. According to the present invention, a braking and/or clamping device is developed, which has a reduced structural width even with a large diameter, consists of few components and also functions in a simple, secure and maintenance-free manner.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a hub for mounting a brake disc to a flange member on a vehicle axis. The hub member comprises a flange section with a plurality of first openings adapted to receive mounting members for mounting the flange section to a flange member and a brake disc attachment section connected to the flange section. The brake disc attachment section circumferentially surrounding the flange section and comprises a plurality of second openings adapted to receive mounting members for mounting the attachment section to a brake disc. The attachment section further comprises at least one reinforcement rib connected to at least one of the plurality of second openings.

    摘要: Self-steering axle assembly has an axle with central tube having a longitudinal central axis. A king pin is connected with an end portion of the axle. A knuckle is connected with the king pin. The knuckle includes a torque plate section. A first arm of the knuckle extends from a side of the torque plate section and receives a first end portion of the king pin. A second arm extends from the torque plate section in the same direction as the first arm. The second arm receives a second end portion of the king pin. A spindle is friction welded to the torque plate section and has a longitudinal central axis. The torque plate section has at least one surface on the torque plate section extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis of the spindle. A tool engages the surface during friction welding of the spindle to the torque plate section. The relative locations of the axle, spindle and king pin enable an air disc brake actuator to avoid contact with components of the heavy-duty vehicle during steering and with the ground and debris.
