    Abstract: Brake systems, vehicles having such brake systems, and methods of operating and installing the brake systems on vehicles. Such a brake system operates one or more brakes to reduce the speed of the vehicle through the operation of a brake pedal. The system includes a hydraulic circuit functionally coupled to the one or more brakes and configured to apply a braking force with the brake(s) that is in relation to a change in pressure of hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic circuit, and an air circuit functionally coupling the brake pedal to the hydraulic circuit. The air circuit is configured to convert manual actuation of the brake pedal to a change in the pressure of the hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic circuit and thereby apply a braking force in relation to a degree of actuation of the brake pedal.

    Abstract: An electric actuator assembly for a drum brake assembly having a brake drum includes a housing and a gear nut configured for rotation by a motor and provided in the housing. A pin extends longitudinally within the housing and is associated with a first clevis for receiving a first brake shoe. A spindle extends longitudinally within the housing and is aligned with the pin. The spindle has a first threaded connection with a second clevis for receiving a second brake shoe and a second threaded connection with the gear nut. The distance between the first clevis and the second clevis increases in response to rotation of the gear nut to move the brake shoes towards the drake drum. The second clevis is urged towards the first clevis in response to cooling of the brake drum in order to back drive the spindle and gear nut and thereby reduce the distance between the first clevis and second clevis.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a drum brake. The drum brake includes a bolt screw being rotated in conjunction with drive of a first motor, a nut piston being combined by a bolt-nut fastening with a circumference of the bolt screw and being moved toward a direction in which the nut piston presses against a shoe, in conjunction of the rotation of the bolt screw, and a press nut being combined by the bolt-nut fastening with a circumference of the nut piston, being moved toward an axial direction in conjunction with drive of a second motor, being brought into contact with the bolt screw, and thus preventing the nut piston from being pushed due to a reaction force of the shoe.
