Abstract: A readjusting device is provided for compensating wear of a brake pad or multiple brake pads and/or a brake disc of a pneumatically actuatable disc brake for a vehicle. The readjusting device has a mechanical actuator, and the mechanical actuator converts a rotational movement of a brake lever into a rotational movement of a shaft. The shaft rotates at least one threaded spindle which acts on one of the brake pads. The readjusting device can carry out an advancing movement and a return movement of the threaded spindle, and the advancing movement and the return movement of the threaded spindle can be terminated by switching one or more couplings.

Abstract: A disc brake for utility vehicles includes a brake disc, a brake caliper spanning the brake disc, a brake carrier, and an application-side brake pad and a reaction-side brake pad, of which at least the application-side brake lining is accommodated in a lining slot of the brake carrier. The brake caliper houses a brake application device having a single pressure plunger arranged to exert a brake application force on the application-side brake lining via a pressure plate. The brake is configured with one or both of an operative plane of the pressure plate being offset in the direction of the exit side at a distance from a plane of symmetry of the disc brake, and a bevel on the exit side of at least the application-side brake lining.

Abstract: A disk brake actuated preferably by compressed air, for a motor vehicle, includes an application mechanism. The application mechanism has a brake rotary lever which acts on a traverse in which there is arranged at least one readjusting spindle which acts on an application-side brake pad, having a readjusting device, and having a quick contact apparatus. The quick contact apparatus effects an advancing movement which is superposed on an actuation of the disk brake during the phase of overcoming an air gap. The quick contact apparatus has an intermediate element which is variable in terms of its position and which has at least a wedge-shaped design.

Abstract: A brake pad retention system is provided for a disc brake of a motor vehicle, in particular of a commercial vehicle. The disc brake includes a brake caliper which engages over a brake disc, a brake carrier which is positionally fixed on the vehicle, the brake carrier having entry-side and exit-side carrier horns and having a bridge which connects the carrier horns to one another, and at least one brake pad which is provided with a pad carrier plate and a friction pad fastened thereto and which is guided in a pad shaft formed by the carrier horns and by the bridge. At least one of the carrier horns of the carrier and the support surface, adjacent thereto, of the pad carrier plate can be fixed to one another in a positively locking manner with play. The at least one brake pad is held in the pad shaft under spring loading exerted by a pad retention spring which extends transversely with respect to the axial direction of the brake disc and which is radially deflectable on the brake pad.

Abstract: A regenerative drive system for generating a rotary movement, which is in the form of a direct hub drive and includes an electric machine that works on the piezoelectric principle, more particularly in the form of a swash plate motor is provided. The drive system can be fitted in vehicles such as box trucks, truck tractors and trailer vehicles.

Abstract: A disc brake runs wet by use of cooling fluid, in particular for a road vehicle, and includes stationary stator discs arranged in parallel to and at a distance from one other, and between which in each case a rotatable rotor disc is arranged. During braking, the radially extending stator discs and rotor discs can be pressed against one another, closing an air gap and, after the brake has been released, can be separated from one another, forming the air gap. The brake is designed such that the rotor discs have cooling channels which can be filled with cooling fluid immediately before or at the start of braking.
