The guide pin includes a groove formed therein, the groove defines a groove axis which is offset relative to the guide pin axis, and a resilient member is disposed in the groove which is operative to bias the guide pin in the bore such that the guide pin axis is offset relative to bore axis to provide the at least one defined point of contact between only a portion of the guide pin and a portion of the inner surface of the bore.

Abstract: In a method for producing a brake carrier for a disc brake of a vehicle braking system, wherein the brake carrier has at least one guiding shaft for guiding a brake lining in a guiding direction in relation to a receiving region for a brake disc, first a brake carrier blank is produced in a casting step and then the brake carrier blank is reworked. In the casting step, the brake carrier blank forms two converging tapers, facing the receiving region, in the region in which the guiding shaft is formed and, during the reworking, material is removed in the region of the tapers to produce the at least one guiding shaft, with the effect that the receiving region for the brake disc has a predetermined clear width transversely in relation to the guiding direction.

Abstract: A brake lining arrangement for a vehicle brake with a friction lining and a lining backing plate, having a receiving portion arranged in its lateral edge region for receiving a separate damping element, which laterally grasps the lining backing plate, wherein the damping element has a contact portion for contacting a portion of a brake calliper corresponding with the contact portion, and the damping element is adapted to be deformable or/and displaceable at least in sections upon a contacting.

Abstract: An exemplary wind turbine for providing electrical energy includes a tower having a turret and switchgear for switching an electric current. The switchgear is arranged in a housing in the turret. The wind turbine also includes a discharge chamber separate from the turret; and a pressure-relief device, which is connected between the interior of the housing and the discharge chamber, in order to relieve pressure when there is a pressure difference between the interior of the housing of the switchgear and the discharge chamber so that an overpressure in the discharge chamber can be dissipated.

Abstract: A bolt guiding device for a floating caliper disc brake, having at least one guide bolt that is supported in a brake carrier and mounted on a brake caliper, wherein the brake caliper is movably guided over the guide bolt in the axial direction thereof. The bolt guiding device comprises a slide bush, wherein one surface of the inner circumferential surface and outer circumferential surface acts as a retaining surface on which the slide bush is retained, and wherein the other surface of the inner circumferential surface and outer circumferential surface acts as a sliding surface on which the slide bush slides.

Abstract: The invention relates to a disk brake for a motor vehicle brake system having a frame-type housing, at least two brake pad arrangements, which are accommodated in the frame-type housing and between which a brake disk that is rotatable about an axis of rotation may be accommodated, and at least two guide bolts, which are mounted on the housing and on which at least one of the brake pad arrangements is guided with play in an axially displaceable manner. To avoid undesirable noises in this disk brake it is provided that on the brake pad arrangement guided on the guide bolts at least one spring element is mounted, which biases said brake pad arrangement relative to the guide bolts into a position corresponding to a tilting movement that results during braking of the brake disk from a braking torque acting on the brake pad arrangement.

Abstract: A disc brake for a motor vehicle includes a spring arrangement mounted on at least one mounting tongue of a brake pad carrier. The spring arrangement provides a predetermined spring travel, which is dimensioned such that a movement of the brake pad carrier for actuating the brake is permitted without brake pad wear compensation and such that when using up the predetermined spring travel the brake pad arrangement contacts the spring arrangement for brake pad wear compensation and moves the latter within a brake pad arrangement guide in order to compensate brake pad wear.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for automated testing of electronic devices. An original test is performed on a model product (24) while the model product (24) is coupled to a test recorder (12). During the test, the model product (24) is manipulated to invoke a desired response. As the test is performed, the manipulations and the desired responses are recorded by the test recorder (12) in an executable format (35). Subsequently, a test analyzer (12) is coupled to a to-be-tested product (24), and the executable recording (35) of the test is played such that the to-be-tested product (24) is manipulated as the model product (24) had been manipulated during the original test. The to-be-tested product's (24) responses to the manipulations are compared against the model product's responses (24). Any difference between the to-be-tested product's (24) responses and the model product's (24) responses are identified.
