  • Patent number: 10508649
    Abstract: A simple, compact, and economical motor/pump unit for supplying vacuum to a pneumatic brake booster of a motor-vehicle brake system, wherein the motor/pump unit is designed as a diaphragm pump having a single elastomeric diaphragm, which is moved by an electrically operated motor unit by an eccentric drive, and has a pump housing and a working-space cover and the diaphragm is clamped between the pump housing and the working-space cover at the radial outer edge of the diaphragm in a sealing manner and the working-space cover is designed as a multi-part working-space cover having an upper cover, a lower cover, and an inlet valve and an outlet valve, which are arranged between the upper cover and the lower cover and control the air circulation through the working space.

  • Publication number: 20190232927
    Abstract: Differentials having plate packs for exerting a braking torque onto the output shafts of the gear unit are known. The brake device is intended to be designed such that effective braking can be achieved using it and that it is easy to service. To this end, the invention makes provision for the brake device to be a drum brake having a passive element, exhibiting a cylindrical frictional surface, and brake shoes, the frictional surfaces of which brake shoes can be placed against the cylindrical frictional surface of the passive element. The passive element can be a brake drum or a radial brake disk, the cylindrical edge of which serves as a frictional surface. The passive element is fastened to the differential cage and/or one of the shafts. The brake shoes are held in a pivotable manner on a carrier plate fastened to the outside of the differential housing.

  • Publication number: 20190092298
    Abstract: A braking device for a hydraulic motor vehicle braking system having an electromechanically driven booster stage and a ball screw drive. In order to provide a braking device which is of particularly compact, cost-effective and weight-saving construction and has short pedal strokes, and an easily adjustable pedal characteristic curve, at the same time enabling effective direct action in case of failure of the booster stage and comfortable haptic feedback at the pedal during normal operation, the actuating force from a piston rod is introduced into the spindle, wherein the piston rod can be moved axially to a limited extent relative to the spindle and a spring element is inserted in the flow of force of the actuating force between the piston rod and the spindle, which spring is compressed axially when the actuating force is introduced.

  • Publication number: 20180326958
    Abstract: A brake device having a hydraulic booster stage for a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system is provided, which brake device, within normal boosting operation, can be operated both in an autonomous, driver-independent actuation mode with electronic control and in a manual actuation mode controlled by the driver, and outside normal boosting operation, can be operated in an emergency mode with a non-boosted actuation force generated by the driver alone, in the case of which brake device it is proposed that, within normal boosting operation, each actuation mode is assigned a dedicated piston in a booster housing of the booster stage, which piston is acted on directly with the boosting force and transmits this mechanically to components connected functionally downstream.
