Spot-type disc brake having a sliding caliper

Abstract: In a spot-type disc brake guides are arranged between each of the arms of a brake support and the sliding caliper to permit displacement of the sliding caliper and the transmission of braking forces to the brake support. The guides each have a guide body comprising a groove extending in the direction of the axis of rotation of the brake disc as well as a projection engaging into said groove. To enable exceptionally high braking forces also to be transmitted by the caliper via the guides to the brake support, the groove and the projection of each guide, which upon braking in the operational direction of rotation of the brake disc is loaded with braking forces, have complementary circularly arcuate profiles in cross-section parallel to the brake disc.

Part lined disc brake for vehicles - has U=shaped brake housing with radial arms and piston and brake lining holder pins

Abstract: The part lined disc brake especially for vehicles, has a U-shaped brake housing (2) with two radially pointing arms (4,6) joined by a bridge piece (8). The one radial arm (4) supports a brake control in the form especially of a piston (30). On each side of the brake disc (24) are sickle shaped brake linings (54,56,58,60) form fitments resting externally on the holder pins (38,40). The bridge part (8) of the housingm (2) has holes (34,36) in containing the lining holder pins (38,40) and a central hole (42). USE/ADVANTAGE - The braking forces are transmitted onto the lining holder pins by means of fitments resting on the outside of the pins.

Master cylinder for antilocking control for motor vehicle - has integral coil to monitor piston movements and control servo brake pressure

Abstract: The master brake cylinder (5) is directly linked to a servo control cylinder (6) in which the servo pressure is regulated by following the displacement of the plunger (1) operating the master piston. The plunger has a magnetic element which moves inside a coil (2) fitted into the servo housing. The coil is linked to the control unit and this regulates the servo pressure, which force is then transmitted directly to the master piston. No separate valves are required for the servo pressure coupling to the brake circuit. The master brake cylinder is in line with the servo unit to form a simple and compact assembly. The servo unit also stabilises the brake pedal position during brake modulation. ADVANTAGE - Simple compact unit; can be fitted to most vehicles.

Environment-friendly blend matrix friction material composition for automobile brake pads

Abstract: Provided is an environment-friendly blend matrix friction material composition for automobile brake pads, which comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 21-25 parts of a blend matrix,20-26 parts of reinforcing fibers, 12-19 parts of calcined kaolin, 10-22 parts of barite, 1-8 parts of aluminium oxide, 0-6 parts of magnesium oxide, 1-6 parts of flaky graphite, 1-8 parts of carbonblack and 10-18 parts of light calcium carbonate. The environment-friendly blend matrix friction material composition for the automobile brake pads neither contains asbestos, elemental sulfur, metal sulfide, nor harmful heavy metal element components such as copper, chromium, lead, cadmium and mercury, thereby being environmentally friendly; and the synergistic effect of the components in the friction material composition enables the composition to have the performance of moderate and stable friction coefficient, high heat resistance, low wear rate, low brake noise, small damage to mating parts and difficulty in corrosion.
