The low shoulder is provided with a circumferential groove (9), a ring member (10) being accommodated in said groove (9) for contacting the rolling elements (8).

Abstract: An actuator for use in a brake caliper is situated at opposite ends of a screw mechanism. A reduction gear mechanism is located at a distance from the actuating member. The reduction gear mechanism is included in a reduction gear module and a screw mechanism is contained in a screw mechanism module, which are interconnected through a drive module. The drive module may be located at the end of the reduction gear module facing away from the screw mechanism module. The modules may be axially aligned or at least two modules may be axially shifted or eccentric with respect to each other. The screw mechanism module may comprise an angular contact bearing which may be supported in a housing in different ways. The reduction gear module may be part of a planetary gear system.

Abstract: An electric actuator (1) comprises a housing (2) which contains a screw mechanism (3) and an electric motor (4) which is driveably connected to the screw mechanism (3), said screw mechanism (3) providing a linear movement in a rotational movement of the electric motor (4) and comprising a screw (17) and a nut (18), one of which is supported with respect to the housing (2), a sensor (28) being provided for measuring a quantity related to the rotational movement and/or the linear movement of the screw mechanism (3). A control unit (29) for monitoring and/or influencing the rotational and/or the linear movement of the screw mechanism (3) on the basis of signals from the sensor (28) has been provided.

Abstract: An electric actuator (13) comprises a housing (7) which contains a screw mechanism (11) and an electric motor (5) which is driveably connected to the screw mechanism which provides a linear movement in response to a rotational movement of the electric motor (5), said screw mechanism (11) comprising a screw (12) and a nut (13) one of which is supported rotatably with respect to the housing (17) by means of an angular contact ball bearing (31), said angular contact ball bearing (31) comprising two pairs of contact points the working lines (40,41) of which intersect each other. One pair of contact points has a working line (41), the angle of which with respect to the axis (42) of the bearing (21) is smaller than the corresponding angle of the other working (40) line.

Abstract: This releasable screw and nut bearing mechanism comprises an internal central screw, a coaxial external nut constituting a socket made of several segments, the outer diameter of the screw being smaller than the inner diameter of the socket in order to provide a free gap therebetween in which a plurality of angularly spaced planet rolling members are disposed and adapted to mesh both with said screw and with said socket, this assembly being releasable by moving the socket segments radially outwards in order to free the screw from any meshing engagement with the rolling members, at any time, irrespective of the relative angular positions between the screw, the socket and the rolling members. Spring means may be provided for constantly urging the rolling members away from the screw, and cage means are provided for guiding the rolling members both axially and radially.
