  • Patent number: 10180168
    Abstract: An actuator arrangement for a brake, particularly an electric parking brake or an electro-mechanic operating brake with a brake pad-adjustment unit that can be driven by an actuator arrangement. The actuator arrangement comprises: an electric motor, a transmission unit located in a housing, which is coupled to the electric motor and is effectively connected at the output side with the brake pad, adjustment unit, a mechanism for fastening the actuator arrangement at the caliper or at the brake pad, adjustment unit, a plug accept for a connection plug of an electric connection unit, which is electrically connected to the electric motor, the electric motor is encompassed at least partially by an encasement, at which the plug accept is formed in one piece, and/or the fastening mechanism are embodied as a separate exchange part, with fastening openings, and fixed at the actuator arrangement in a torque-proof fashion.

  • Patent number: 9771993
    Abstract: An actuator arrangement for an electric parking brake or electric motor service brake, having a brake pad adjustment device which can be driven by the actuator arrangement. The invention has a modular construction, comprising: an electric motor, a gear unit, positioned in a housing, coupled to the electric motor and having a functional connection at its output end with the brake pad adjustment device, a means for fastening the actuator arrangement to the brake caliper or the brake pad adjustment device, and a plug receptacle for a plug connector used for the purpose of transmitting electrical signals to the electric motor. The housing has a motor tube molded joined thereto, housing the electric motor, and a motor cap to which is molded, as a single piece, the plug receptacle for a plug connector used for the purpose of transmitting electrical signals to the electric motor.
