Abstract: A braking system for a vehicle, particularly a commercial vehicle, includes an operating brake device for providing an operating brake function for braking the vehicle, and a parking brake device for providing a parking brake function independently of the operating brake system. If one of the two braking devices partially or completely fails, the vehicle can be braked automatically by means of the other braking device.

Abstract: A pneumatic wheel brake for a vehicle includes a brake lever operable by a compressed air cylinder, and a brake application device operable by the lever. Employing the brake application device, a first brake element can be pressed against a second when the lever is operated. The wheel brake also includes an actuating device, which can be motor driven, which force can be applied to parts of the brake application device, at least when the lever is not operated, to press the first brake element against the second. The wheel brake also has a spring accumulator element arranged outside the compressed air cylinder. Force can be applied to the spring accumulator element by the actuating device; and force can be applied to parts of the brake application device by the spring accumulator element, at least when the lever is not operated. Thereby, the first brake element can be pressed against the second.

Abstract: A brake includes a brake shoe, an actuating element for pressing the brake shoe against a brake disc, and at least one lever disposed such that it increases the braking force applied by the brake shoe to the brake disc by deflecting a tangential force acting on the brake shoe during braking. The actuating element comprises at least one brake disc side part, an actuator side part, and a coupling part disposed between the brake disc side part and the actuator side part, wherein the coupling part can be pivoted relative to the brake disc side part and/or the actuator side part.

Abstract: A brake system for a vehicle includes brake cylinders operated by pressurized fluid for actuation of brakes by means of pressurized fluid on at least one first axle of the vehicle. The brakes on at least one other, second, axle can be actuated exclusively electromechanically in response to an electrical braking request signal. The pressure of the pressurized fluid can be modulated indirectly or directly and the electrical braking request signal can be generated indirectly or directly in response to actuation of a brake pedal of a brake pedal device. A service brake function is provided by means of hybrid use of the brakes on the first axle(s) together with the brakes on the second axle(s). The brake cylinders operated by pressurized fluid are pneumatically operated brake cylinders. The pressure modulated by the brake pedal device is a pneumatic pressure, and the pressurized fluid is compressed air.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic wheel brake for a vehicle, wherein the wheel brake has at least one brake lever (11) that can be operated by a compressed air cylinder (10) and a brake application device (20) that can be operated by the brake lever (11), wherein by means of said brake application device a first brake element (1) can be pressed against a second brake element (2) when the brake lever (11) is operated, and the wheel brake has an actuating device (3) that can be driven by an electric motor, wherein by means of said actuating device force can be applied to at least parts (7, 8, 9) of the brake application device (20), at least when the brake lever (11) is not operated, and thereby the first brake element (1) can he pressed against the second brake element (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a brake having a brake shoe (16), an actuating element for pressing the brake shoe (16) against a brake disc (18), and at least one lever (26) disposed such that it increases a braking force applied by the brake shoe (16) to the brake disc (18) by deflecting a tangential force acting on the brake shoe (16) during braking. The actuating element comprises at least one brake disc side part (24), an actuator side part (20), and a coupling part disposed between the brake disc side part and the actuator side part, wherein the coupling part (22) can be pivoted relative to the brake disc side part (24) and/or the actuator side part (20).

Abstract: The invention relates to a braking system (16) for a vehicle (10), particularly a commercial vehicle, having an operating brake device for providing an operating brake function for braking the vehicle, and a parking brake device (92) for providing a parking brake function independently of the operating brake system. In order to improve the functionality of the braking system in case of a fault, the vehicle can be braked automatically by means of the other braking device if one of the two braking devices partially or completely fails. The invention further relates to a brake pedal device for such a braking system.
