  • Publication number: 20230272828
    Abstract: A disk brake device for a vehicle, that includes an internally-ventilated or solid brake disk. The internally-vented brake disk is configured having ventilation openings on the vehicle side, on the radial inside in the region of a brake disk chamber, which ventilation openings are fluidically connected to cooling channels in the interior of the brake disk. The solid brake disk is configured without such ventilation openings and with cooling channels. A brake caliper fitting is configured over the brake disk with a brake pad arranged on both sides of the brake disk. The brake disk device is configured with a brake dust filter housing that encompasses the brake disk on the radial outside and is arranged downstream of the brake caliper, together with the brake pads. The disk brake device has at least one means for forced guidance of brake dust.

  • Publication number: 20230095945
    Abstract: A brake caliper support for a brake caliper of a disc brake assembly with a brake disc has a brake caliper support bracket provided with at least two fastening sections for connecting the brake caliper support to a steering knuckle of a vehicle. The brake caliper support bracket in a mounted state at the vehicle is positioned opposite a brake disc friction surface of the brake disc. A brake caliper support bridge projects away from the brake caliper support bracket in axial direction of the brake disc and circumferentially surrounds the brake disc at least partially in the mounted state. An arc-shaped air guiding element is disposed at the brake caliper support bracket. The air guiding element is positioned axially opposite the brake disc friction surface of the brake disc in the mounted state. The air guiding element is a protrusion or a recess extending axially, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20230035373
    Abstract: A brake dust particle filter for a disc brake assembly is provided with a housing that has a first housing side wall, a second housing side wall, and a housing circumferential wall, wherein the housing circumferential wall extends between the first housing side wall and the second housing side wall. A filter insert with a filter medium is arranged in the housing and extends along one of the first and second housing side walls and along the housing circumferential wall. The filter insert has a curved circumferential edge. The housing has a curved receiving groove. The curved circumferential edge engages the curved receiving groove. The filter insert is L-shaped and is configured to at least partially cover a friction surface and a circumferential surface of a brake disc of the disc brake assembly. The curved circumferential edge of the filter insert projects past the filter medium.

  • Publication number: 20230003269
    Abstract: A circular segment-shaped filter housing of a brake dust particle filter for a brake disk arrangement has first and second spaced-apart housing side walls. A housing circumferential wall connects the first and second housing sidewalls. The first and second housing side walls and the housing circumferential wall delimit an opening for receiving a brake disk of the brake disk arrangement. Delimitation parts are arranged at an end face edge of at least one of the first and second housing side walls and at an end face edge of the housing circumferential wall. The delimitation parts are detachable and exchangeable independent of the first and second housing side walls and/or of the housing circumferential wall. The delimitation parts delimit a free cross section area of the opening. A brake dust particle filter is provided with such a filter housing. A kit for producing such a filter housing is provided.

  • Publication number: 20220397168
    Abstract: A brake dust particle filter for a disc brake assembly with brake disc and brake caliper has a filter housing with opposed first and second side walls, a circumferential wall section extending at least partially circumferentially, and an end wall. The first and second side walls are connected to each other by the circumferential wall section and/or by the end wall. A filter housing interior extends from a side of the filter housing facing the brake caliper along the first and second side walls and the circumferential wall section to the end wall. An air-permeable filter wall arranged in the filter housing interior has a filter wall circumferential section that is radially spaced from the circumferential wall section and divides the filter housing interior into a raw air side and a clean air side. The clean air side extends between filter wall circumferential section and first circumferential wall section.

  • Publication number: 20220341477
    Abstract: A ring segment-shaped filter housing of a brake dust particle filter of a disc brake has a first housing part with two or more first shell pieces connected to each other. The first shell pieces overlap in circumferential direction in an overlap region, respectively, and are connected to each other in the overlap region. At least one of the first shell pieces has circumferential end regions mirror-symmetrical to each other. A filter housing assembly set for producing such a filter housing has two or more shell pieces connectable to each other, wherein at least one of the shell pieces has circumferential end regions mirror-symmetrical to each other, wherein the shell pieces are designed to overlap in circumferential direction in an overlap region and to be connected to each other in the overlap region. A brake dust particle filter and a disc brake with such a filter housing are provided.
