Abstract: An electromechanically actuated vehicle brake having a hydraulically and/or mechanically actuated piston and at least one spindle-nut-arrangement. The invention further relates to a piston. To prevent unnecessary play, vibration, noises between adjacent components it is proposed that in the area of a coupling between the spindle-nut-arrangement and the piston at least one compensating element be provided, which prevents unwanted component oscillations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brake actuation unit for a motor vehicle brake system, a vacuum brake booster and a motor pump unit which is provided for supplying a vacuum and comprises a pump connected to the vacuum brake booster and an electric motor driving the pump. According to the invention, an additional sound absorbing element is provided in the connection between the vacuum brake booster and the pump in order to lower the sound level in the vehicle interior.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a spot-type disc brake for automotive vehicles and an associated brake pad with a retaining device for the brake pad (1) on an actuating means (2), with the brake pad (1) being additionally clamped to a pad mounting support. These two functions are assumed by two separate spring means (4, 13) according to the present invention. A first spring means (4) clamps the brake pad (1) axially with respect to the actuating means (2), especially a brake piston, and a second spring means (13) ensures the radially rattle-free clamping engagement of the brake pad (1) with respect to an associated pad mounting support. Both spring means (4, 13) are active irrespective of each other so that undesirable transverse forces on the actuating means (2), i.e., vertically to the axial direction (3), are avoided.
