Abstract: Some pin elements may have a substantially circular cross section, forming a circumference-shaped edge. Other pin elements may have a substantially rhomboidal cross section, forming a symmetric rhombus-shaped edge with respect to a radial direction and a circumferential direction orthogonal to this radial direction. Yet other pin elements may have a substantially circular cross section, forming a circumference-shaped edge.

Abstract: A method for controlling the braking action applicable by a brake caliper on a mechanical movement member of a vehicle is described. An electronic control unit operatively connected to an actuator assembly receives an input signal representative of a braking request. The unit determines a first reference value of a position of a component in the actuator assembly and a second reference value of a parameter representative of the braking action applicable by a brake caliper via the actuator assembly. The unit determines at least one feedback value of the position of a component in the actuator assembly. The unit also generates at least one control signal for the actuator assembly based on feedback values and the reference values.

Abstract: A braking band of a disc for a disc brake of the ventilated type, unusually capable of improving the disc cooling efficiency, extends between an inner diameter close to an axis of rotation of the disc and an outer diameter away from the said axis of rotation of the disc. The braking band may have two leaves defining an intermediate space and joined by a connection. The ratio between the outer diameter of the surface and the thickness or maximum dimension of the said intermediate space between the two leaves measured in a direction parallel to the axis of the disc may be between 15 and 32.

Abstract: A braking band (14) of a disc (10) for a disc brake of the ventilated type, unusually capable of improving the disc cooling efficiency, extends between an inner diameter (D1) close to an axis (X-X) of rotation of the disc and an outer diameter (D2) away from the said axis (X-X9 of rotation of the disc. The braking band comprises two leaves (16, 18) defining an intermediate space and joined by connection means. The ratio between the outer diameter of the surface (D2) and the thickness or maximum dimension of the said intermediate space (22) between the two leaves (16, 18) measured in a direction parallel to the axis of the disc (X-X) lies between 15 and 32.
