  • Publication number: 20250012331
    Abstract: A braking device for a driveable part includes a driveable loading device which can be brought into radial contact with the driveable part having a first holding position and a second releasing position. At least one breaking member of the holding position bears frictionally against a radial circumference of the driveable part and secures the driveable part against rotation with a pre-settable force. The releasing position of the braking member permits a freewheeling of the driveable part. The loading device is adjustable between the holding position and the releasing position. The driveable part is coupled to an at least one permanent brake. A braking torque of the holding position of the permanent brake acts on the driveable part. The releasing position of the driveable part is freely rotatable with the permanent brake.

  • Patent number: 12078005
    Abstract: A brake device for a drivable part, in particular for use for a vehicle flap, in particular in an automobile, includes a drivable load device (11) which can be radially brought into contact with a disc (90) of the drivable part, with a first holding position and a second release position. At least one brake element rests against the periphery (92) of the disc (90) in a frictional manner in the holding position and secures the disc (90) from rotating using a specifiable force. In the release position, the at least one brake element is arranged at a distance from the periphery of the disc (90) and allows a free run of the disc (90), and the load device (11) can be adjusted between the holding position and the release position, preferably by a motor (12).
