The operating surface is constructed as a pressure-sensitive surface. Thus, as a function of the position and/or of the pressure intensity of a pressure exerted on the operating surface, a corresponding adjusting signal can be generated by which the component to be adjusted can be positioned by means of the adjusting device.

  • Brake arrangement
    Patent number: 4875556
    Abstract: A brake arrangement, especially a disk brake for vehicles, includes a brake caliper with brake pads guided on both sides of a brake disk which are operatively connected with hydraulically actuatable actuating pistons. Each actuating piston includes a bore directed toward the brake pad in which is arranged a cylindrically shaped insert number that includes a flange covering the piston end surface and is held with a radial and axial play with respect to the inner circumferential and bottom surface of the bore.
