Abstract:
A steering knuckle of a utility vehicle, composed of a cast material, has a main body, a steering knuckle bearing, a hub-type, cup-shaped receiving portion, open towards a rim of a vehicle wheel and suitable for receiving an anti-friction bearing and a bearing journal, and a pad-receiving portion for receiving a brake pad. The pad receiving portion has a support and two supporting elements provided one behind the other in the rotational direction of the vehicle wheel. A control arm attachment for linking an axle guide is formed on the main body.
Abstract:
A steering knuckle of a utility vehicle has a main body, a steering knuckle bearing for receiving in a rotating articulated manner a vehicle axle, a hub-type, cup-shaped receiving portion, open towards a rim of a vehicle wheel, in which portion an anti-friction bearing and a bearing journal can be received. The main body has an opening for receiving a drive shaft. The opening leads into the hub-type receiving portion. An axle assembly and a vehicle axle of a utility vehicle are also provided.
Abstract:
A disc brake and a brake lining for a commercial vehicle are provided. The disc brake includes a brake caliper on a stationary brake carrier and straddling a brake disc. The brake carrier has at least one brake lining space, in particular two brake lining spaces, each of which is delimited by lateral brake carrier lugs and accommodates a brake lining. At least one respective dimensionally stable blocking element is provided as a counter bearing against the insertion direction of the brake pads. The blocking elements are supported on the brake pads and/or or the brake carrier and are held on the brake carrier and/or on the brake pads.
Abstract:
A disc brake, in particular for a commercial vehicle, including a brake caliper, which reaches over a brake disc and in which brake pads are positioned that can be pressed against the brake disc on both sides by at least one brake application device and that each have a lining carrier plate and a friction lining fastened thereto. The brake application device has at least one brake piston that acts on the lining carrier plate at the end face of the brake piston. The disc brake is designed such that at least one of the brake pads is supported in an articulated, pivotable, manner in the radial direction of the brake disc.
Abstract:
A method for analyzing the wear behavior of brake pads of a brake system has at least the following steps: a) providing a brake system with at least one or more brakes, each with one or more brake pads which each have a pad carrier plate and a friction lining composed of at least two or more friction material layers which are composed of different friction materials; and at least one evaluation device; b) determining the wear which is brought about per brake during braking operations with at least one wear sensor per brake; c) determining the braking energy which is brought about per brake during braking operations with the evaluation device; d) repeated determination of an instantaneous gradient of a curve which relates the values determined in steps b) and c) and preferably a route information item to one another; and e) outputting a signal at an output device if the gradient changes.
Abstract:
A brake pad for a disk brake for a utility vehicle, includes a pad backplate, which has a pad side with a frictional mass and an application side opposite the pad side. The pad side is provided with a structural arrangement having a plurality of recesses with elevations arranged therein. The structural arrangement of the pad side comprises structural elements which differ in shape and size.
Abstract:
A disc brake for a vehicle, in particular for a commercial vehicle, includes a brake carrier which receives at least two brake pads in respective clamping side and rear side pad slots, with the at least one brake pad on the clamping side being held in its pad slot in a form-fitting manner. The at least one brake pad on the clamping side is provided with at least one pad retaining spring which is supported at least on a brake carrier horn of the pad slot of the brake carrier. The at least one clamping spring exerts a tensile force acting radially outward on the brake pad. A brake pad set for the disc brake is also provided.
Abstract:
A brake pad for a disc brake, which can be installed into a wheel that has a size of 22.5″, includes a ring segment-shaped pad support plate which supports a friction lining material, an inner radius Ri of which merges with straight bearing surfaces on both sides, and which has two molded-on pressure pieces that are arranged in a mutually spaced manner on the pad support plate rear face that faces away from the friction lining material. The brake pad is designed such that the length of the pad support plate is 245-250 mm, the inner radius is 115-135 mm, and the outer radius of the pad support plate is 205-220 mm.
Abstract:
A method adjusts the slack of a brake assembly having a brake disc, a brake pad, an actuator with an output shaft driven in a forward direction to bring the brake pad and brake disc into frictional engagement defining a braking position and a reverse direction to disengage the brake pad and brake disc and to move the brake pad into a rest position, and a slack adjuster for adjusting a predetermined axial slack distance between the brake pad and the brake disc. The brake pad is moved from the rest position in the reverse direction into a predetermined reference position, and an adjustment of the axial slack distance between the brake pad and brake disc is initiated.
Abstract:
A brake assembly includes a brake disc in rotational engagement with a wheel of a vehicle, a brake pad which frictionally engages the brake disc in a dynamic braking operation and a parking brake operation, a dynamic actuator adapted to bring the brake pad and brake disc into the frictional engagement in the dynamic braking operation, and a parking brake actuator associated with the dynamic actuator such that, in the parking brake operation, the frictional engagement of the brake disc and brake pad is maintained.
