  • Patent number: 10107345
    Abstract: An adjusting unit for an automatic slack adjuster of a vehicle drum brake includes a housing (19), a worm shaft (2) mounted in the housing (19) so as to be movable between two end positions along an axial travel (A), a control pinion (9) arranged on the worm shaft, a worm (7) arranged on the worm shaft, and a freewheel (13) for power transmission between the control pinion (9) and the worm (7) in a first direction of rotation and for slip between the control pinion (9) and the worm (7) in an opposite, second direction of rotation. The worm shaft (2) has a first stop surface (3) and a second stop surface (5), which can each be brought into contact with a corresponding first stop (25) and second stop (21) at the end positions of the housing (19). An automatic slack adjuster includes such an adjusting unit.

  • Publication number: 20160356329
    Abstract: A disc brake assembly includes a brake support unitarily formed from a brake carrier and an adapter portion 12. The adapter portion 12 has two lateral plates with several mounting bores on a circumference of a mounting circle. The brake carrier has a first tie bar connecting the two lateral plates and extending above the mounting circle. Two radially protruding first support stubs are formed on the two lateral plates at opposite lateral ends of the first tie bar for limiting the travel of a brake caliper. Two first guide structures for an inboard brake spreader plate are located at the opposite lateral ends of the first tie bar between the support stubs. Two guide bores laterally adjacent the support stubs are present for guide pins of the brake caliper.
