TL;DR: In this article, a brake actuating apparatus which includes a motor disposed at a brake caliper, a driving piston connecting through a converting member which converts a rotary motion of the motor into a linear motion, and a fluid chamber disposed between the driving piston and a pad urging piston is described.

TL;DR: A brake control system for a vehicle in which a brake pressure is generated in accordance with a signal from an electronic control unit for applying the brake pressure to vehicle wheels, characterized in that a mechanical brake system is automatically actuated when an unexpected electrical fault has occurred in an electrical brake system as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the brake pad is urged against the disc by a piston driven by fluid in a chamber defined between this and a forcing piston which slides in a cylinder against a helical spring when a threaded spindle is rotated by gearing from the motor.

TL;DR: In this paper, a brake device provided with a hydraulic type brake mechanism and an electric type brake was described, where a piston operated by hydraulic pressure can press a friction member to a rotatable member and the friction member can be pushed by operation of the piston by an electric motor.

TL;DR: In this article, the in-wheel motors are mounted on wheels on one side of the vehicle opposite to the other side on which the internal combustion engine is mounted, where the non-rotating side of motor and the knuckle are supported by a buffer mechanism having plates connected to each other by a direct-acting guide with springs composed of a direct acting guide having a linear bearing and a rod and spring members moving in the vertical direction of vehicle and mated with a damper for interconnecting the plates, for supporting the motor to either one or both of the unspr
