Publication number: 20240125363Abstract: A brake system and a method of performing a release operation with the brake system. The brake system comprises a sliding caliper body and a fixed caliper body. The fixed caliper body has a stop formed therein and accommodates a spindle nut that mates with the stop in a release operation. The brake system comprises a spindle that drives the spindle nut in a second direction during the release operation. Continued translation of the spindle after mating of the spindle nut with the stop drives the sliding caliper body in a first direction opposing the second direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Aurelian Bahmata, Swanand Velankar, Philip Nathanael Jedele

Publication number: 20240035532Abstract: A brake system comprising a torque limiter assembly that sets a torque limit and associated with an electromechanical actuation system. The torque limiter assembly comprises a ring gear meshed with two or more planetary gears, the ring gear comprising a first race extending circumferentially therearound. The torque limiter assembly comprises a pre-loaded member comprising a second race extending circumferentially therearound. Balls are engaged between the first and second races. The first and/or second races comprise a series of peaks and valleys, and slopes extending therebetween. Below the torque limit, the balls are engaged within the valleys causing the ring gear to remain rotationally captive and the planetary gears to orbit. At and above the torque limit, the balls slip over the peaks, causing the ring gear to rotate and the planetary gears to remain orbitally captive.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventor: Aurelian Bahmata

Patent number: 11655867Abstract: A brake system that includes a brake caliper comprising an inboard side and an outboard side, the inboard side of the brake caliper includes one or more brake pistons and the outboard side of the brake caliper comprises one or more brake pistons, and a brake pad comprising a first pad section and a second pad section. During a service brake apply, both of the first pad section and the second pad section are moved against a braking surface to create a clamping force. During a parking brake apply, only one of the first pad section and the second pad section is moved against the braking surface to create a clamping force. The first pad section comprises a friction material having a coefficient of friction that is different than a coefficient of friction of the second pad section.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: AKEBONO BRAKE INDUSTRY CO., LTDInventors: Gang Lou, Aurelian Bahmata

Patent number: 9669817Abstract: A device for a brake system comprises a rotating plate including magnets having a first polarity. The rotating plate engages an output shaft of a motor. The device includes a non-rotating plate including magnets, one or more of which have the first polarity and one or more of which have a second polarity. The non-rotating plate moves axially between an engaged position and a non-engaged position. In the engaged position, the magnets in the rotating plate magnetically attract the one or more magnets in the non-rotating plate with the second polarity so that non-rotating plate moves into contact with the rotating plate. In the non-engaged position, the magnets in the rotating plate magnetically repel the one or more magnets in the non-rotating plate with the first polarity so that the non-rotating plate moves out of contact with the rotating plate and thus rotation of the rotating plate is allowed.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2015Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: AKEBONO BRAKE INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Galus Chelaidite, Aurelian Bahmata
