  • Patent number: 12038056
    Abstract: A method adjusts the slack of a brake assembly having a brake disc, a brake pad, an actuator with an output shaft driven in a forward direction to bring the brake pad and brake disc into frictional engagement defining a braking position and a reverse direction to disengage the brake pad and brake disc and to move the brake pad into a rest position, and a slack adjuster for adjusting a predetermined axial slack distance between the brake pad and the brake disc. The brake pad is moved from the rest position in the reverse direction into a predetermined reference position, and an adjustment of the axial slack distance between the brake pad and brake disc is initiated.

  • Patent number: 11953067
    Abstract: A brake assembly includes a brake disc in rotational engagement with a wheel of a vehicle, a brake pad which frictionally engages the brake disc in a dynamic braking operation and a parking brake operation, a dynamic actuator adapted to bring the brake pad and brake disc into the frictional engagement in the dynamic braking operation, and a parking brake actuator associated with the dynamic actuator such that, in the parking brake operation, the frictional engagement of the brake disc and brake pad is maintained.

  • Patent number: 9266515
    Abstract: A method and controller for controlling the purge cycling of an air dryer assembly is disclosed. The controller includes a control output for transmitting a control signal for controlling the air dryer. The controller is capable of initiating an enhanced purge cycle for the air dryer based on a regeneration volume value. The regeneration volume value is based on the accumulated volume of air delivered to the air dryer for a first time or since a prior standard purge cycle.

  • Patent number: 8413440
    Abstract: A fresh gas supply device is provided for an internal combustion engine having a turbocharger. The device includes a charge-air inlet for taking in charge-air from the exhaust gas turbocharger, a compressed air inlet for taking in compressed air, an outlet connectable to the charge-air inlet via a flap element and to the compressed air inlet via a flow regulating device, and a control unit for controlling the flap element and the flow regulating device. The flow regulating device has at least one valve for opening and closing the compressed air inlet and a proportional valve connected downstream in the direction of flow for setting a pressure in the outlet.
