Abstract: A piston assembly for engaging two selectively engageable parts comprising: a housing defining a piston cylinder; a piston; and an adjuster assembly comprising: a piston stroke limiter configured to limit the length of a return stroke of the piston from an extended stroke position and a retracted stroke position, the piston stroke limiter comprising a spring and a spring guide; and a crushable body, acting between the piston and the piston stroke limiter, the crushable body being arranged to reduce in axial length when a length of an extension stroke exceeds a length of a retraction stroke to maintain the length of the return stroke; wherein the crushable body comprises an inner crushable thin-walled tube surrounding at least a portion of the piston and an outer crushable thin-walled tube mounted around and radially outwards of the inner crushable tube.

Abstract: A clip for a rotor disk of a brake assembly, the clip comprising: a first half comprising a first sheet metal strip having a body portion and a first end and a second end bent in a first direction relative to the body portion; and a second half comprising a second sheet metal strip having a body portion having a length the same as the length of the body portion of the first sheet metal strip, the second sheet metal strip having a first end and a second end bent in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, relative to the body portion of the second sheet metal strip; and wherein one of the first end of the first sheet metal strip and the first end of the second sheet metal strip is provided with a first pin protruding from the end.

Abstract: The present application relates to crushable body in the form of a corrugated thin walled tube e.g. for use in a piston assembly for engaging two selectively engageable parts. The piston assembly has a housing defining a piston cylinder and a piston. The assembly also has a piston stroke limiter. The piston stroke limiter is configured to limit the length of a return stroke of the piston from an extended stroke position and a retracted stroke position. A crushable body in the form of a corrugated thin walled tube acts between the piston and the piston stroke limiter and is arranged to reduce in axial length when a length of an extended stroke exceeds a length of a retraction stroke to maintain the length of the return stroke.
