  • Publication number: 20230151866
    Abstract: A mechanical wear gauge for detecting a brake liner wear and a brake disc wear of a disc brake for vehicles, in particular for utility vehicles, includes a brake liner wear detection mechanism and a brake disc wear detection mechanism. Brake liners and brake discs are subjected to a wear so that the brake liner thickness and the brake disc thickness decrease with an increasing period of use. A base member includes an arm member having a pincer leg. A first sliding member having a pincer leg is slidable relative to the base member and arm member to detect brake disc wear. A second sliding member, extending parallel to the first sliding member, is slidable relative to the base member to detect brake liner wear.

  • Publication number: 20230146765
    Abstract: A system and method for painting a component (3) of a vehicle brake (1) includes a sealing plug (7) inserted into a recess (5), the recess extending in the direction of a longitudinal axis (L) and which has an inner face (9) which is intended to be kept free from paint. The method include providing the component (3) and introducing a sealing plug (7) into the recess (5) of the component. The sealing plug (7) has at least one sealing face (11a-11h) and the sealing face (11a-11h) is disposed inside the recess (5). The sealing face is moved into sealing abutment with the inner face (9) in a radial direction. The method includes painting the component (3) after the sealing plug (7) has been introduced. The sealing plug blocks paint from being deposited on the inner face.

  • Publication number: 20230047089
    Abstract: A fastening device for a vehicle disc brake having a brake carrier includes holding fixture formed in the brake carrier for receiving a speed sensor. The brake carrier includes fastening members for mounting to a flange of the vehicle. The speed sensor is used for an anti-lock braking system to detect wheel slip. The holding fixture is in the form of a bore. The bore may be formed in the strut facing the axle or in an extension of one of the fastening members of the brake carrier. The speed sensor is aligned in its extension direction axially with an exciter in or on the brake disc or in the axle. The speed sensor is attached to a cable that does not need to be guided past the vehicle flange.
