A brake caliper thrust device for a disc brake is provided. The brake caliper thrust device has a thrust device body adapted to be translated inside a guide device, the thrust device body defining an internal cavity at least partially open and facing towards an object to be pushed, including a brake pad associable with the thrust device. The internal cavity is delimited by at least one internal surface defined by at least one wall of the thrust device. From the at least one wall of the thrust device, at least one heat dissipation element protrudes into the internal cavity, adapted to increase the extension of the at least one internal surface to evacuate heat accumulated by the at least one wall of the thrust device.

Brake caliper thrust device, brake caliper and manufacturing method

A caliper and supporting assembly for a disc brake may have a brake caliper with a caliper body adapted to straddle an associable disc of the disc brake, a supporting element connected to a caliper body, where the caliper body may have a first portion, and the supporting element may have a second portion. During braking action, the caliper body elastically deforms according to at least one predetermined direction, thereby determining a displacement in at least the predetermined direction of the first portion of the caliper body with respect to the second portion of the supporting element. The caliper and supporting assembly may also have at least one detecting device which detects a distance at least along the predetermined direction between the first portion of the caliper body and the second portion of the supporting element.

Caliper and support assembly and caliper deformation detection method

A brake caliper for a disc brake having a caliper body, a brake pad and at least one retraction device of the brake pad from a braking disc is described. The device is configured to retract the brake pad from at least one of opposite braking surfaces delimited by the braking disc. The caliper body delimits a first pad abutment surface to delimit a tapered space with the braking surface of the braking disc, the first pad abutment surface being oriented so that, during the braking action, the surface guides the brake pad wedging in the tapered space. The brake pad delimits a retraction surface, inclined in a non-orthogonal direction with respect to the pad plane and oriented so that, during the retraction action, the brake pad is guided partially outside of the tapered space.

Connection system between a braking band and a hat of a disc for a disc brake

Actuator device for brakes suitable to be operatively connected to at least a first braking device acting on a brake disc or drum, so as to exercise a braking action,

Automatically controlled actuator device for brakes

A caliper assembly () of a disc brake caliper, of the type with a modified braking action, comprising a caliper body () suitable to arrange astride of a brake disc, at least one first pad () being slidably received in at least one first seat () and so as to position itself between a first vehicle side elongated portion () and a first braking surface of the brake disk to abut, with a first pad plane () thereof, against said first braking surface () and to exert a braking action on the brake disc when pressed by the thrust means upon demand for a first friction action exerted by the first pad friction material against said first braking surface () causing a braking action, said assembly () further comprising a first insert () in a separate body from said caliper body () and in a separate body to said first pad () and particular in a separate body to said first pad plate (), said first insert () comprises a balance wheel body () hinged to the caliper body () and oscillating in relation to the caliper body () so as to change, in an adjustable manner avoiding replacement of the insert, the angle between the plate support surface () of said insert () and said plane () defined by the braking surface () or said pad plane ().
