Abstract: System for suctioning braking particles from a friction braking system, the suction system including a negative-pressure source, a suction mouth, a pneumatic circuit connecting the suction mouth and the negative-pressure source, and a control unit, the suction system further including a closure unit arranged on the pneumatic circuit, the closure unit being able to isolate at least a first portion of the pneumatic circuit, the control unit being configured to control the closure means according to a predetermined logic in order to isolate the first portion of the pneumatic circuit during certain phases between two actual uses of the negative-pressure source.

Abstract: System for suctioning braking particles from a friction braking system of a vehicle, the suction system including a negative-pressure source, a suction mouth, a filter, a conduit connecting the suction mouth to the negative-pressure source, a control unit configured to control the negative-pressure source, the suction system further including a stream of information originating from a computer that controls a motor-generator of a driving/braking system of the vehicle, the control unit being configured to control the negative-pressure source preemptively before the actual activation of the friction braking, the control unit controlling the negative-pressure source as a function of the activation of electromagnetic braking or other parameters, and associated method.

Abstract: A brake pad includes a sole plate with outer and inner faces, and a lining made of friction material fixed to the inner face, the lining being delimited by friction and attachment faces, and inner, outer, rear, and front edges. The lining has a collection groove open on the friction face near the rear edge, the sole plate including a suction hole in fluid communication with the collection groove, this hole being connected to a negative pressure source. The collection groove is extended, at an end, by a duct of which the outer end is open away from the friction face, via an inlet, and of which the inner end is open in the collection groove via an outlet forming a cross-sectional jump with the groove. During operation, a negative pressure exists between the inlet and the collection groove one on each side of the duct.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for suctioning braking particles from a friction braking system of a vehicle, the suction system including a negative-pressure source, a suction mouth, a filter, a pneumatic circuit connecting the suction mouth to the negative-pressure source, and a control unit configured to control the negative-pressure source, the suction system also including a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure prevailing in the pneumatic circuit, the control unit controlling the negative-pressure source so that the pressure in the pneumatic circuit reaches or tends to meet a predetermined negative-pressure setpoint, and an associated method.

Abstract: Disclosed is a braking system including a brake pad, the pad including a backing plate with a first face and a second face, and a lining made of friction material and fixed to the first face, the lining being delimited by a friction face, a mounting face, an inner edge, an outer edge, a rear edge, and a front edge, the lining being provided with at least one collection groove which is open to the friction face, which extends at its first end towards the inner edge and which has an opening at its second end towards the outer edge. The braking system further includes a collection system which includes a collection pipe through which air can flow, the air inlet orifice of the collection pipe being located opposite the second end, and the collection groove is open to the outer edge at its second end.

Abstract: Disclosed is a braking system including a brake pad with a backing plate having first and second faces, and a lining made of friction material on the first face. The lining having friction and mounting faces, and inner, outer, rear and front edges. The lining has a collection groove open to the friction face, and an opening at its first end towards the inner edge and an opening at its second end towards the outer edge. The braking system further includes a suction system with suction and blow pipes through which air is sucked in and a blown. The air inlet orifice of the suction pipe is opposite one end of the groove, and the air outlet orifice of the blow pipe is opposite the other end of the groove.
