Publication number: 20180106313Abstract: A disc brake has a brake caliper, which reaches over a brake disc, is designed as a sliding caliper, is fastened to a stationary brake bracket and has a central opening over the brake disc. Two brake pads, which are arranged in the brake caliper and can be moved in opposite directions each have a backing plate and a friction lining fastened thereto. An action-side brake pad can be pressed against the brake disc by an application device by way of at least one brake piston. At least one restoring device is provided, by which the brake caliper can be returned after displacement and release of the brake caused by braking, wherein the restoring device has a spreading device, which acts on the brake pads lying opposite each other and acts in the same way against each particular application direction and has resilient spreading elements that act on the respective backing plates.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Inventors: Jens FRICKE, Abdelaziz RGUICHI, Thomas EICHLER, Oliver KRAUSE, Matthias KLINGNER, Michael PESCHEL, Tobias SCHOEFBERGER, Philipp ADAMCZYK, Manfred SCHOENAUER, Martin PLEINTINGER, Markus MOLNAR, Franz GASSLBAUER, Martin TROPP

Publication number: 20180045256Abstract: A sliding caliper disk brake is provided, in which a stationary brake carrier configured to carry a brake caliper includes two pairs of carrier horns, one pair of which supports a reaction-side brake pad and one pair of which supports an application side brake pad. The spacing between the reaction-side pair of carrier horns is larger than the spacing between the application-side pair of carrier horns. The reaction-side brake pad and reaction-side pair of carrier horns may be shorter than the corresponding application-side brake pad and carrier horns. The arrangement of the brake carrier, the brake caliper and the brake pads permits reduction in disk brake weight, cost and brake carrier stresses while providing desired brake thermal, mechanical and service life performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2017Publication date: February 15, 2018Inventors: Abdelaziz RGUICHI, Philipp ADAMCZYK, Matthias KLINGNER, Alexander WERTH, Michael PESCHEL, Robert THEIL

Patent number: 9890826Abstract: A sensor device for a disc brake has a sensor gearing which can be coupled to at least one encoder, wherein the sensor gearing is arranged in a housing as a planetary gear mechanism and has an input for a first variable, which can be detected by the sensor device and which is associated with wear of the disc brake, and has an input for a second variable, which can be detected by the sensor device and which is associated with an operating movement of the disc brake. The sensor device can be changed over from a first state for detecting the first variable, which is associated with wear of the disc brake, and the second variable, which is associated with an operating movement of the disc brake, to a second state for detecting only the first variable, which is associated with wear of the disc brake.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Christian Staahl, Matthias Klingner, Michael Peschel

Publication number: 20180003253Abstract: A disk brake with lower cost and improved maintainability is provided. The brake caliper includes at least one actuating device for actuating the disc brake using a moveably guided bridge. The bridge has at least one threaded hole into which an actuating spindle is displaceably located. A brake disk end of the actuating spindle penetrates a caliper closing plate facing the brake disk. The positioning spindle carries a rotatably-mounted pressure piece which presses a brake pad against the brake disc. The opening is sealed by a bellows retained on the brake caliper on one side and on the pressure piece on the other side. A securing ring non-rotatably located on the actuating spindle and rotatably connected to the thrust piece interacts with the bellows during brake application and/or release to maintain a desired air gap between the brake disk and brake pad.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2017Publication date: January 4, 2018Inventors: Tobias SCHOEFBERGER, Rudolf FISCHER, Peter BALINT, Matthias KLINGNER, Michael PESCHEL, Ralf WEBER

Patent number: 9816577Abstract: A disc brake for a commercial vehicle has a caliper that straddles a brake disc. The caliper is mounted on a brake carrier on the vehicle side by way of two connecting bearings in an axially displaceable manner in relation to the brake disc. The connecting bearings each include a guide bar that is securely connected to the brake carrier and guided in a slide bearing of the caliper for the axial displacement thereof. At least one connecting bearing is provided with a radially elastic damping bushing, which at least surrounds the guide bar in regions and has grooves that are laterally delimited by ribs. The disc brake is designed such that the damping bushing has a progressive damping behavior in the radial loading direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2010Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Rudolf Fischer, Christian Raffin, Michael Peschel, Florian Orgler
