  • Patent number: 11858482
    Abstract: A commercial vehicle includes at least one driven axle, a service brake, at least one propulsion engine, and wheels. A parking brake function of the vehicle is achieved by a bistable locking means that acts on both wheels. A first and second multi-speed gearbox having respective first and second gear stages are each activated by an actuator and coupled to the wheels. The parking brake function is achieved at least in-part by concurrently activating the first and second gear stages. A computing device is configured to activate the bistable locking means when the commercial vehicle is at a standstill and configured to send a brake request via an electronic signal to an electronic brake control unit to activate the service brake.

  • Patent number: 10704629
    Abstract: An electric-wear adjusting device of a motor vehicle disc brake is provided for adjusting friction surface wear on the brake linings and brake disc of the disc brake having. having a brake application device, preferably with a rotary brake lever. The adjusting device includes an electric motor, a gear mechanism, and an output element. The output element is connected rotationally fixed to a clamping sleeve. The clamping sleeve has inwardly projecting longitudinal ribs on an inner side configured to cooperate with axial grooves of a threaded plunger of a wear-adjuster spindle unit. Also provided is a corresponding disc brake having the electric wear-adjusting device, and a method for measuring and setting air play and measuring wear of a disc brake having the electric wear-adjusting device.
