Publication number: 20220235837Abstract: A brake piston is described which comprises a first tubular piston body portion and a second tubular piston body portion. The second piston body portion is connected to the first piston body portion and lies, in an axial view, radially completely inside the first piston body portion, thus forming an annular hollow space. Furthermore, a length of the second piston body portion along a piston longitudinal axis is at least 50% of a length of the first piston body portion. An inner circumferential surface of the second piston body portion comprises an anti-rotation contour which also forms an axial guide contour for a brake piston drive.

Patent number: 9919686Abstract: A disc brake for a motor vehicle, wherein it is possible to displace the actuating piston in the housing both by hydraulic pressure activation of a hydraulic chamber formed in the housing and via a mechanical actuator, wherein the sealing ring is accommodated in an annular groove formed in the housing. Provision is made here for the annular groove to have a groove floor, which runs substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the piston, and two groove walls, which adjoin the groove floor, wherein—as seen in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the piston—a first groove wall is directed away from the hydraulic chamber and a second groove wall is directed towards the hydraulic chamber, wherein the first groove wall merges into the groove floor via a rounded or bevelled transition region at a varying distance from the longitudinal axis of the piston.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2014Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Lucas Automotive GmbHInventors: Peter Stahl, Boris Kuhnert, Christian Damrau, Christian Tharr, Dietrich Podzuweit, Maria Heinemann, Martin Brandt, Nong Dang, Michael Schog

Patent number: 8517152Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2009Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Lucas Automotive GmbHInventors: Guido Zenzen, Marco Becker, Michael Schog, Florian Rössinger

Patent number: 7731002Abstract: The invention relates to a disc brake having a brake carrier which is fastenable to a vehicle frame and provided with studs for guiding at least one brake lining axially with respect to a brake disc, wherein the brake lining includes U-shaped recesses for the studs into which the studs engage, and wherein during braking tensile forces and/or compressive forces are exerted upon inner surfaces of the recesses. The invention is characterized in that an inner surface of at least one of the U-shaped recesses, which surface bears against a respective stud during a brake actuation, is angled with respect to a central plane of the brake lining such that a force that arises between the said surface and the respective stud during braking presses the brake lining into a stable position with respect to the studs. The invention also relates to a brake lining for use in such a disc brake.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2006Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Lucas Automotive GmbHInventors: Manfred Haupt, Michael Schog, Dirk Hees
