Abstract: A pneumatic shifting force assistance device for a manual transmission is provided, comprising a housing structure having a compressed air inlet, ventilation, control rod, and an output unit comprising a working piston defining two pneumatic working chambers. A valve arrangement is provided between the control rod and output unit, bringing about a pneumatic sequential control from the outlet unit to the control rod by acting on the working chambers. The valve arrangement comprises two piston structures, two annular sealing edges, two valve slides which interact with the sealing edges, and two valve seats. At least one piston structure/valve slide pair is paired with a throttle device such that a throttle seal arranged on the output unit interacts with a throttle passage arranged on the corresponding valve slide or piston structure, where the effective cross-sectional area of the throttle passage depends on the position of the component within the throttle passage.

Abstract: A pneumatic shifting force supporting device for a gearbox comprises a housing structure having a compressed air inlet and an air vent, and a control rod and an output unit comprising a working piston defining two pneumatic working chambers. A valve arrangement is functionally provided between control rod and output unit. By acting on the two pneumatic working chambers, the valve arrangement causes a pneumatic follow-up control from the output unit to the control rod comprising two valve pistons, annular sealing edges, valve spools and valve seats. A throttle slide is associated with at least one of the valve pistons and is slidable relative thereto. The throttle slide has a closing edge co-operating with the respective associated valve seat and delimiting at least one throttle passage, the cross-sectional area of which depends on the relative position of the throttle slide with respect to the associated valve piston.

Abstract: A brake pad holder of a disc brake, in particular for a commercial vehicle is provided, wherein brake pads assigned to both sides of a brake disc are held by a respective pad-holding spring in a spring-loaded manner in a pad shaft of a positionally fixed brake anchor plate or of a brake caliper. A pad-holding clip, which extends in the axial direction of the brake disc and is fastened to the brake caliper, is supported on the brake pads. The brake pad holder is designed such that the pad-holding clip has at least one limb which extends approximately radially with respect to the brake disc and enters into a recess of at least one brake pad.

Abstract: A disc brake, in particular for a commercial vehicle, includes a caliper which engages over a brake disc, and a brake application device, by which a brake pad can be pressed against the brake disc via at least one actuating spindle in the caliper, in correspondence with a pressure piece. The actuating spindle is encased by a deformable bellows between the pressure piece and the caliper, which deformable bellows has, at its end side, an elastic seal which is provided with an inherently rigid support ring and which is held in the manner of a press fit in an outlet opening of the caliper or of a part which is fastened thereto. The bellows is designed such that the support ring and the seal also bear directly and peripherally against the wall of the outlet opening.

Abstract: A disk brake, especially for a commercial vehicle, comprising a brake caliper (2) which is fixed on a brake carrier (3) of the commercial vehicle by means of two fixing elements such that it is axially displaceable in relation to the disk brake (1) whereby one fixing element is embodied as a fixed bearing (4) and the other fixing element is embodied as a loose bearing (5) with a sliding bushing (6) inserted into a bore of the brake caliper (2), whereby the inner or outer contour thereof deviates from that of a circle, whereby a guide bar (8), having for example a round cross-section, is guided in the sliding bushing (6).
