  • Patent number: 5568845
    Abstract: A pneumatically operated disk brake having a caliper actuated by an application through a traverse member which is displaceably guided with respect to the brake disk, at least one adjusting spindle is adjustably screwed to the traverse member and an adjusting device acts upon the adjusting spindle to maintain a desired ventilating play. A device is provided which prevents any rotating of the threaded spindle up to a specified torque. For a two spindle device the synchronization device can be locked in the released condition of the brake. Another solution is to provide on each adjusting spindle its brake-disk-side end a frontal toothing which engages in a corresponding frontal countertoothing of its pressure piece.

  • Patent number: 5515949
    Abstract: A pneumatically operated disk brake wherein a ball socket bearing at the connection of a lever arm to a compressed air cylinder's plunger arm of a caliper includes a slide bearing between the ball and the socket of the ball socket bearing whose sliding surface, consists of at least 70% by volume polyvinylidenefluoride, at least 10% by volume polytetrafluoro ethylene and a remainder of lead.

  • Patent number: 5353896
    Abstract: The disk brake with a caliper (2) reaching over a brake disk (1) exhibits on one side a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes a cam lever (4), which can be rotated around an axis parallel to the plane of the brake disk and interacts preferably by way of a traverse (6) with one or two adjusting spindles (7, 8), against which a brake lining (10) is braced. The two adjusting spindles (7 and 8) are coupled by means of a toothed belt (12). Into a recess of the one adjusting spindle (7) projects a rotating drive (14), which can be driven by the cam lever (4) and during the application stroke causes the adjusting spindle (7) and thus by way of the toothed belt (12) also the adjusting spindle (8) to be screwed in the direction of approach to the brake disk (1). The rotating drive (14) includes a one-way revolving coupling and a torque limiting coupling, thus preventing a screw connection of the adjusting spindles (7 and 8) during the fixed brake stroke and the release stroke.

  • Patent number: 5343984
    Abstract: A rotating drive for an adjusting spindle of a disk brake for motor vehicles, in particular street vehicles, has a cam lever (4), which can be rotated around an axis (19) parallel to the brake disk, comprising one cantilever (23) on each side of said lever comprising angular offset radial boreholes (24, 24') which receive radial pins (17, 17'). The pins (17, 17') reach into the double forked end of a drive lever (15), which can be rotated around an axis (20), crossing at right angles at a distance from the axis (19). The rotational movements of the drive lever (15) are transferred to a reset drive, which belongs to an adjusting spindle extending at right angles to the plane of the brake disk.
