Abstract: A locking device configured to manually release a parking brake in a brake actuator for rail vehicles, the locking device including a spindle drive including a teething; a locking element engaging the teething of the spindle drive and switching a rotating movement and thus an axial force transmission of a parking brake on or off; and at least one contact damping element configured to dampen or prevent a contact of the locking element.

Abstract: A wear adjuster for a brake caliper of a disk brake of a rail vehicle, having a) a helical gearing which has a threaded spindle and a nut to be screwed thereon as the screw connection elements, one of the screw connection elements and an adjusting element being rotatable in a first wear adjuster housing to rotatingly drive the screw connection element in the wear adjusting direction and the other screw connection element being non-rotatably mounted in a second wear adjuster housing, b) a wrap spring freewheeling mechanism which is blocked in a direction of rotation of the rotatable screw connection element against a wear adjustment and which is freewheeling in the opposite direction of rotation, the wrap spring freewheeling mechanism coupling the rotatable screw connection element to a rotationally fixed element. The rotationally fixed element is formed directly by the first wear adjuster housing.

Abstract: A connection of a brake lining, preferably a disc brake of a railway vehicle, having a lining mount, wherein the brake lining includes a guide bar on the back side thereof lying in a guide track of the lining mount and held on the lining mount by means of a clamping element of at least one clamping device engaging behind the guide bar under spring load and pressing against the guide track, designed so that the clamping element can be brought out of engagement by an actuating element rotatably or displaceably mounted on the lining mount.
