  • Patent number: 9714687
    Abstract: A method and device are provided for indicating wear of at least one brake pad in a disc brake having an electric motor actuator. The method adds up wear adjustment travel paths of the electric motor actuator and/or of an adjustment motor, and indicates the sum of the wear adjustment paths so obtained as the wear of the brake pad or as a residual brake pad service life.

  • Patent number: 8897957
    Abstract: A control and monitoring device of a vehicle, including at least one controlled brake system (ABS, EBS), which during braking adjusts the brake slip and/or the brake pressure to a setpoint value, including at least one brake control device (ECU-EBS, ECU-TEBS) as well as a device (TPMS) for monitoring the tire pressure and/or the tire air temperature of at least one tire, including at least one tire sensor, which transmits a signal representing the individual tire pressure and/or the individual tire air temperature of the particular tire, to at least one tire-monitoring control unit (ECU-TPMS). The at least one tire-monitoring control unit (ECU-TPMS) and the at least one brake control unit (ECU-EBS, ECU-TEBS) are integrated in one subassembly and are configured for the exchange of data among each other.

  • Patent number: 8863914
    Abstract: A part-lining disk brake is described, having an electromechanical actuator, a self-energizing application device with a wedge arrangement designed to press a brake lining against a disk brake, and at least two wedge elements of the wedge arrangement moveable relative to one another, arranged on one of a brake caliper frame and an auxiliary frame. The wedge elements are used to apply the brake lining, and act on the brake lining via a trapezoidal pressure plate.

  • Patent number: 8660768
    Abstract: A device for controlling the driving dynamics of a vehicle, including at least one steering-angle sensor, one yaw-rate sensor, one acceleration sensor for measuring at least the transverse acceleration of the vehicle, as well as evaluation electronics for evaluating the signals supplied by the sensors, and for influencing a brake system and/or a drive of the vehicle as a function of the signals. According to the system, the steering-angle sensor, the yaw-rate sensor and the acceleration sensor are combined into one shared subassembly.

  • Patent number: 7866447
    Abstract: An electro mechanical or pneumatically actuated disk brake, in particular for a utility vehicle, includes a brake caliper or saddle and a brake disk. The brake saddle overlaps the brake disk at least in sections of the outer periphery thereof. The disk brake also includes a tensioning device which is entirely or partially inserted into the brake saddle. The tensioning device is used to produce a tensioning movement between the brake linings and the brake disk. The disk brake further includes at least one and preferably several adjusting devices. The brake disk and/or the brake saddle are arranged on a step with elastic pre-tension when the brake is in the release state.
