An elevator car with brake equipment, which is arranged in the region of the elevator car, for holding and braking the same, which brake equipment includes: a brake unit which can co-operate with a brake rail, an actuating device which can produce an actuator force F, and a connecting linkage which connects the actuating device with the brake unit in force-active manner for transmission of the actuator force F, wherein the brake unit in unloaded setting is in its open setting and the connecting linkage is a pull cable.

Apparatus and method for holding and braking an elevator car

A lift car with a brake device which is arranged in the region of the lift car for holding and braking the latter; the brake device includes a brake unit which can interact with a brake rail, an actuating device which can generate an actuator force, and a connector which connects the actuating device to the brake unit in a force-active manner in order to transmit the actuator force, wherein the brake unit is in its open position in the unloaded position.

Brake device for a lift car

A hydraulic vehicle brake equipped with a parking brake device, in particular for motor vehicles, including a brake housing in which a hydraulic service pressure chamber is delimited by a brake piston, wherein the parking brake device acts on the brake piston and, in the applied condition, can be locked by a locking device, and an energy accumulator cooperating with the brake piston is equipped with at least one integrated spring element. In order to realize a simple and low-cost parking brake function that complies with legal requirements, according to the invention, the parking brake device is operable by a pressure that is introduced into the service pressure chamber and enables charging the energy accumulator.

Hydraulic vehicle brake

An actuating unit is provided for an electromechanically actuated disc brake for automotive vehicles, substantially comprising a driving unit or an electric motor, an actuating element by which one of two friction linings displaceably arranged within a brake caliper is brought into engagement with a brake disc, and a reduction gear. In order to determine a reaction force occurring during actuation, a sensor device for sensing the reaction force resulting from the actuating force applied by the actuating unit is provided between the guide piece and the brake caliper or a gearbox housing connected to the brake caliper, respectively.

Actuation unit for an electromechanically-actuated disc brake

The present invention relates to a friction brake, in particular a disc brake, for a motor vehicle with a friction element, e.g. a brake disc, coupled to the rotation of a vehicle wheel, forming a friction pairing of the friction brake with at least one associated brake lining, and with at least one clamping device for pressing at least one brake lining to the friction element. At least one controllable friction clutch is provided for using the rotational energy of the friction element in order to obtain the clamping force of the friction brake, the friction clutch being coupled on its input end to the rotation of the friction element and on its output end to the clamping device. Functional advantages are achieved because a friction pairing of the friction clutch is provided independently of the friction pairing of the friction brake. This eliminates undesired mutual influences. Altogether, such a friction brake obviates the need for an additional energy source for generating a brake clamping force.
