  • Publication number: 20110162926
    Abstract: The invention relates to a brake disc having a brake disc pot (42) and a friction ring (10) which is positively connected to the brake disc pot via toothing (50). The friction ring (10) comprises two friction ring halves (12, 14), wherein the toothing extends across only one of the friction ring halves. In this manner it is possible to mount through-passages (30) axially adjacent to the toothing running around the friction ring half on the interior circumference of the friction ring, said passages connecting the interior circumference of the friction ring to an interior ventilation arrangement of the friction ring. In this manner both a good force transmission and a stable positive connection is ensured between the friction ring and the brake disc pot, as is an efficient cooling by means of an interior ventilation of the friction ring.

  • Publication number: 20100263970
    Abstract: The invention relates to a brake disk for a motor vehicle having a brake disc cup (10) and having a friction ring (18) supported thereby and made of a cast material, joined to each other by means of a joint connection, particularly a welded connection (32), wherein an intermediate component (20) is cast into the friction ring (18), by means of which the friction ring (18) is connected to the brake disk cup (10). The invention further relates to a method for producing such a brake disk.

  • Publication number: 20100187053
    Abstract: The invention relates to a disk brake, especially for a motor vehicle, comprising a wheel hub (10) and a friction ring (18), which are firmly interconnected radially by a form lock (24) and axially by at least one securing element (26). The invention is characterized in that the at least one axial securing element (26) is arranged in a receiving recess (38) which extends radially inside the friction ring (18), said friction ring (18) being radially movable relative to the securing element (26) in the area of the receiving recess (38).

  • Patent number: 7540512
    Abstract: In a wheel carrier unit comprising a basic wheel carrier member, a support member connecting the basic wheel carrier member to a vehicle body by way of axle links, and a brake cylinder arranged thereon, the brake cylinder is disposed on the side of the wheel carrier unit remote from the wheel location and a housing for a brake application unit serving as mechanical force transmission unit is formed on the opposite side of the wheel carrier unit.

  • Publication number: 20070260382
    Abstract: A control system having an electronically controllable drive train. A coordination level is assigned to a system control device in which set point values are generated from state variables of the vehicle and from driver's wishes and actuation signals for actuating actuators are generated therefrom. An execution level is subordinate to the coordination level and has actuators for executing the actuation signal. An axle electronic module activates at least one brake actuator assigned to the vehicle axle, and is arranged in the region of the vehicle axle. The axle electronic module is connected to the coordination level in order to transmit set point values, and is designed to determine actuation signals from the set point values in order to control the respective axle actuator. The axle electronic module is connected to a controllable differential lock in order to transmit the actuation signals.

  • Patent number: 7032981
    Abstract: A control system for a vehicle having an electronically actuated drive train includes a coordination level which is assigned to a system control device, and in which setpoint values are generated from state variables (ZG) of the vehicle and from driver's requests. Actuation signals for actuating actuators are generated from the latter. An execution level, which is subordinate to the coordination level, has actuators for executing the actuation signals. An axle electronic module for activating at least one brake actuator which is assigned to the chassis is arranged in the region of the steerable vehicle axle. The axle electronic module is connected to the coordination level in order to receive transmittal setpoint values, and determines actuation signals for actuating the respective axle actuator from the setpoint values. The axle electronic module is connected to an electronically actuated steering system for transmitting the actuation signals.
