Patent number: 10502273Abstract: A pneumatically or electromechanically actuated disk brake includes a brake disk having a preferred direction of rotation in forward travel, a brake carrier extending around the brake disk, a brake caliper extending around the brake disk, a fastening-side brake pad with a friction material, an application device having a pressure-exerting device on one side of the brake disk, and a rim-side brake pad with friction material. A fastening-side line of gravity, in the rest state of the brake, is arranged with a predetermined first offset with respect to a central axis in the direction of the entry side of the brake disk in the preferred direction of rotation. A rim-side line of gravity is arranged either with a predetermined second offset with respect to the central axis, the second offset being unequal to the first offset, or with a third offset with respect to the central axis.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2015Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: WABCO EUROPE BVBAInventors: Frank Beyer, Hellmut Jaeger, Eugen Kloos

Patent number: 9933028Abstract: A caliper disc brake of a vehicle has a brake disc with an axis of rotation, a brake caliper, a brake anchor plate, a force transmission element, such asa lining support and/or a pressure plate, a holding-down spring for holding down the force transmission element, and a holding-down device (36) which is held and supported on the caliper by a holding device, which pretensions the holding-down spring adially against the force transmission device and tangentially in the direction of rotation against the force transmission device during forwards travel. The holding device has a center line parallel to the axis of rotation. The tangential pre-tensioning is at least partially due to the dimensions (V1, V2) of the holding-down device in the tangential direction from the center line (M) being larger on the disc exit side than on the disc entry side.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2014Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: WABCO Europe BVBAInventors: Wolfgang Falter, Oliver Friebus, Hellmut Jäger, Hans-Christian Jungmann

Patent number: 9695894Abstract: A caliper disc brake of a vehicle, in particular of a commercial vehicle, a brake disc, a brake caliper, a brake support plate, a force transmission element, such as, for example, a pad support and/or a pressure plate, which is guided and supported in a well of the brake caliper or of the brake anchor plate, a holding-down spring (32) for holding down the force transmission element, and a holding-down device (36). The holding-down device is held by a holding device, pretensions the holding-down spring radially against the force transmission element and pretensions the holding-down spring tangentially in the direction of rotation against the force transmission element during forwards travel. The holding-down spring has two identical spring legs that enclose an angle of more than 95° with the base in the relaxed state and an angle of less than 85° with the respectively adjacent spring leg.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2014Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: WABCO Europe BVBAInventors: Wolfgang Falter, Oliver Friebus, Hellmut Jäger, Hans-Christian Jungmann

Patent number: 6619440Abstract: A brake includes a rotating element and a magnet wheel mounted on the rotating element so as to rotate with the rotating element about an axis of rotation. The magnet wheel has a first side extending transversely of the axis of rotation and facing the rotating element and a second side extending transversely of the axis of rotation and facing away from the rotating element. A first axial stop interacts with a first stop section located on the first side of the magnet wheel and a second axial stop interacts with a second stop section located on the second side of the magnet wheel for limiting an axial movement of the magnet wheel relative to the rotating element to a first predetermined amount. Along each line extending parallel to the axis of rotation and extending through the first or the second axial stop, the distance between the first stop section and the second stop section is smaller than the distance between the first axial stop and the second axial stop.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2002Date of Patent: September 16, 2003Assignee: Wabco Perrot Bremsen GmbHInventors: Paul Antony, Gerhard Berger, Wolfgang Falter, Hellmut Jäger, Marcus Keller, Roland Keller
