Abstract: A brake cylinder for brakes of a motor vehicle, in particular for utility vehicles, comprising a spring loaded brake section and a service brake section is configurable in such a way that a total length is substantially shortened. In the inventive cylinder, the spring loaded brake section and the service brake section are constructed in such a way that they form a single unit. The brake cylinder comprises a pressurized piston for service braking and a spring-loaded piston for parking braking. The two pistons are connected to each other through a shift cylinder and are disconnected by the pressure relief in a second pressure chamber through the shift cylinder in such a way that the piston is displaceable by a spring-loaded spring. In order to release the brake, the piston for service braking is pressurized and reconnected to the piston. The unit is displaced to a release position by the action of a return spring through the pressure relief of the piston.

Abstract: An adjusting device for a disc brake, especially a pneumatically operated disc brake, is used for rotating and thus axially moving at least one rotary spindle that is provided with internal teeth composed of one or several axially extending grooves. The adjusting device includes an output bush that is provided with external teeth which engage into the internal teeth of the rotary spindle, as well as a monolithic or multipart release spindle. The release spindle axially penetrates the adjusting device and is used for manually releasing the same. The spindle is disposed and/or mounted in such a way that rotations of the spindle below a threshold torque, which are caused by vibrational stress during operation of the disc brake, are prevented. The adjusting device is characterized in that the spindle or a part that is connected to the spindle in a torsion-proof manner is also provided with external teeth which engage directly into the internal teeth of the rotary spindle as well.

Abstract: A linkage positioner for a drum brake, which is used to compensate for braking-related wear, especially on the brake linings, has an overload clutch and a one-directionally rotating or one-way clutch. The overload clutch is embodied as a ball ramp clutch, which is biased by a pressure spring.

Abstract: A disc brake, in particular for a commercial vehicle, includes a brake caliper that straddles the brake disc, and a clamping device, which is located in the brake caliper and which presses brake linings against both sides of the brake disc during a braking procedure. The brake caliper is held on a fixed brake support so that it can be axially displaced on the application and reaction side. The disc brake is configured in such a way that the brake support includes guide tracks that extend in the displacement direction for guiding the brake caliper on the reaction side. Guide surfaces of the brake caliper or parts that are attached to the latter rest against the tracks.

Abstract: A brake pad with markings for different types of brakes is described. A passage or a recess is provided in the brake pad carrier of the brake pad, wherein a badge is inserted. The badge is made of a material which is less firm than the brake pad carrier, such that information can be placed thereon using a stamping method.

Abstract: A brake disc for a vehicle has at least one annular friction surface provided on at least one outer face of the disc to which a brake pad can be applied for braking purposes. The friction surface has a large number of subsegments, at least some of which are physically separated from one another by expansion joints. The brake disc is configured in such a way that the depth of the expansion joints is greater than the permissible rate of wear of the friction surface.

Abstract: A brake lining support plate arrangeable in a lining housing of a disc brake for a land vehicle includes at least one tolerance compensating spring for compensating tolerance between the lining support plate and the plate housing. The tolerance compensating spring(s) are embodied in the form of leaf- or leg-springs, wherein the leaf spring or the first leg of the leg spring is used for compensating the tolerances in a radial direction and the other leaf spring or the second leg of the leg spring is used for compensating tolerances in a circumferential direction.

Abstract: An adjusting device for adjusting the wear of the friction surface on the brake lining and brake disc of a pneumatic disc brake having a clamping device that is actuated by a rotary lever is provided. The device preferably can be inserted into a rotary spindle of the disc brake. An anti-friction body is positioned on both axial sides of a drive element, with the one bodies being a ramp coupling with a freewheeling function. The ramp coupling has coupling bushes and clamping balls, and the coupling bush on the driven side being supported on a spring sleeve. A conical seat is configured between the coupling bush and the sprung sleeve cooperates with the ramp coupling to preclude locking of the coupling bushes.

Abstract: A lining for a disc brake, in particular, a pneumatically actuated disc brake designed for utility vehicles, includes a pressure plate and a lining material mounted on the pressure plate. At least one return mechanism located on the pressure plate causes axial return of the brake lining after brake applications, and presses against the lining housing of a disk brake and performs a tilting motion in the lining housing when the brake is applied. The return device also includes a tensioning device acting in a tangential direction and including a tensioning spring which, when the brake is not applied, elastically prestresses the pressure plate in the tangential direction relative to a disc of the disc brake that is towards the lining house such that the return device presses tangentially in prestressed manner against the lining housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a disk brake, in particular for a utility vehicle, comprising a brake caliper that encompasses a brake disk. The caliper is fixed to a brake support of the utility vehicle by means of fixing elements and can be axially displaced in relation to the brake disk. One fixing element is configured as a fixed bearing and the other as a floating bearing. The disk brake is configured in such a way that the floating bearing consists of a guide bush, part of which have a different wall thickness and in which a bearing bolt with a circular cross-section is guided, or a guide bush with an even wall thickness, in which a bearing bolt with an oval cross-section is guided.

Abstract: The invention concerns a disk brake with a brake lining holding device for a brake lining that can be tensioned in the direction of a brake disk and comprising a lining support plate and a brake lining material applied thereon, wherein a limit stop for limiting the adjustment path of the brake lining is provided. The invention is characterized in that the limit stop for limiting the adjustment path of the brake lining can be elastically and/or plastically deformed under the effect of a given brake force produced by the disk brake.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wear adjustment device for a brake, especially a motor vehicle brake. The device comprises an adjusting shaft, which is mounted in a housing and is accessible from the outside at a front end. Said adjusting shaft is equipped with a head part in the accessible area, this head part enabling the transmission of a torque. The head part is configured as a separate structural part and can be coupled to the adjusting shaft in such a way that it is resistant to torsion in the axial direction of the adjusting shaft and in relation to said adjusting shaft. The head part is also provided with a predetermined breaking point which enables separation to take place when a maximum permissible torque is exceeded. This constructionally simple configuration reliably prevents the adjusting shaft from being overburdened and therefore prevents any damage to the wear adjustment device or essential parts of the break that this could otherwise cause.
