  • Publication number: 20250360898
    Abstract: A method for operating a power brake system, which includes a braking device to which a primary and a secondary actuation device for generating a hydraulic brake pressure are assigned, which are designed to receive a braking request signal that is representative of a braking request by electronics. The method includes: collecting information on the functionality of the primary actuation device by the secondary actuation device in a first collection mode using electronic communication between the primary and the secondary actuation device and collecting the information on the functionality of the primary actuation device in a second collection mode by ascertaining a hydraulic brake pressure generated by the primary actuation device by the secondary actuation device if no information on the functionality of the primary actuation device can be collected by the secondary actuation device in the first collection mode.

  • Patent number: 11359684
    Abstract: A disc brake for a commercial vehicle is provided. The disc brake includes a brake caliper, preferably in the form of a sliding caliper, straddling a brake disc, being arranged on a fixed backing plate, and having an application device for applying the brake. The disk brake also includes two brake pads, each having a pad carrier and an affixed friction pad, and each being inserted into a pad shaft of the backing plate. The brake caliper has a central caliper opening over the disc brake. A hold-down bar is provided, designed in such a way that, of the two brake pads, it radially secures only the reaction-side brake pad in its lining shaft in the backing plate. The hold-down bar is held on the brake caliper by its end facing away from the brake pad. Additionally, the application-side brake pad is radially interlockingly secured in its pad shaft in the backing plate.

  • Patent number: 11060574
    Abstract: A disc brake for a utility vehicle, with a brake caliper which overlaps a brake disc, is preferably designed as a sliding caliper, is fastened to a positionally fixed brake carrier and has a central caliper opening above the brake disc, with an application device for applying the brake, and with two brake pads which are insertable through the caliper opening and each have a pad carrier and a friction pad fastened thereto, of which brake pads the one brake pad, as an application-side brake pad, can be pressed against the brake disc on the one side of the brake disc by the application device, and the other, as a reaction-side brake pad, is arranged on the opposite side of the brake disc, is distinguished in that a holding-down clamp is provided which is designed in such a manner that it radially secures only one of the two brake pads in the pad slot.

  • Patent number: 10480599
    Abstract: A disc brake for a vehicle, in particular for a commercial vehicle, is provided. The disc brake includes at least one application-side brake pad and a back-side brake pad held in a form-fitting manner in a brake carrier. At least the application-side brake pad is provided with at least one pad-retaining spring which is supported at least on one brake carrier horn of the brake carrier and exerts a radially outwardly acting tensile force on the brake pad.
