  • Patent number: 8678145
    Abstract: A pneumatic or electromagnetically actuated disc brake includes a caliper spanning a brake disc, a brake application unit disposed in the caliper and having a brake lever, at least one actuating spindle axially displaceable by the rotary lever, and a wear adjustor actuated by the brake lever and positioned in the brake caliper, by which a wear-induced change in an air gap between a brake pad and the brake disc can be substantially compensated for by way of an axial adjustment of the actuating spindle. The wear adjustor includes a spur gear segment extending in the pivot direction and disposed on the lever and engaging with a crown gear operationally connected to the actuating spindle for adjusting.

  • Publication number: 20130022397
    Abstract: A track system may include a plurality of connected slat members that may form rollable tracks. The rollable tracks may be used in moving vehicles across sensitive ground. The rollable track may be deployed using various methods and/or apparatus such as, e.g., deployment apparatus including one or more spool portions for rolling and unrolling the rollable tracks.

  • Patent number: 8220596
    Abstract: A disc brake, particularly for a commercial vehicle, includes a brake caliper, which is provided with a brake disc and fixed to a brake carrier by two fastening elements such that it can be axially displaced in relation to the brake disc. The fastening elements each include a guide spar, which is connected to the brake carrier in a fixed manner. For the axial displacement of the brake caliper, one of the guide spars is guided in a plain bearing designed as a movable bearing and the other in a plain bearing designed as fixed bearing such that the guide spar of the fixed bearing includes an elastically deformable section in the radial direction on the outer circumference. The associated bearing rests against the deformable section at least in some sections.

  • Publication number: 20100282547
    Abstract: 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.
