  • Publication number: 20240149854
    Abstract: An electromechanical brake pressure generator for a hydraulic braking system of a vehicle. The brake pressure generator includes at least one threaded drive system including a spindle and a spindle nut, which cooperate via a thread, and an electromotive drive using which the spindle and the spindle nut are rotatable relative to one another. The brake pressure generator includes a hydraulic piston accommodated in a hydraulic cylinder of a piston/cylinder unit. An anti-twist protection is formed by a recess which extends in the axial direction and forms a sliding surface, and by a sliding element protruding into the recess, so that the hydraulic piston is secured against twisting and is axially displaceable by a rotation of the spindle. The sliding surface and/or a contact surface of the sliding element cooperating with the sliding surface includes a microprofiling, whose profiling direction is orthogonal to the movement of the hydraulic piston.

  • Patent number: 11639718
    Abstract: A planar micromechanical actuator suspended on opposing suspension zones including a neutral axis between the opposing suspension zones, first to fourth segments into which the planar micromechanical actuator is segmented between the opposing suspension zones, each including a first electrode and a second electrode which form a capacitor and are isolatedly affixed to each other at opposite ends of the respective segment along a direction between the opposing suspension zones so as to form a gap between the first and second electrode along a thickness direction, the gap being offset to the neutral axis along the thickness direction, and wherein the first to fourth segments are configured such that the planar micromechanical actuator deflects into the thickness direction by the first and fourth segment bending into the thickness direction and the second and third segments bending contrary to the thickness direction upon a voltage being applied to the first and second electrodes of the first to fourth segments.
