An electric axle drive unit for a motor vehicle, having an electric motor with a stator that is fixedly received in a housing, and a rotor that is rotatably mounted relative to the stator and rotationally coupled or coupleable to a wheel hub. A brake device is operatively connected to the wheel hub. The brake device has a first brake component fixedly supported on the housing, a second brake component rotationally fixed to the wheel hub that is frictionally connectable to the first brake component, and an actuation unit that applies a braking force that interconnects the brake components. One of the brake components has a brake disc element rotationally fixed to a support part and is displaceably received in the axial direction of a rotational axis of the wheel hub relative to the support part.

Electric axle drive unit with integrated brake device with axially movable brake disc element

In human-powered vehicles, e.g., bicycles, etc., it is customary to use drum brakes, disc brakes or shoe brakes. Each of the braking systems has different advantages in terms of braking effect, system costs, ease of maintenance, etc. A brake unit with a modified structure for a vehicle is provided. For this purpose, a brake unitfor a vehicleis disclosed, having a housing, having a brake body device, wherein the brake body devicesupports a stationary brake partner of a brake apparatusfor the vehicle, wherein the housingand/or the brake body devicedefines a main axis H, having an actuator for moving the brake body device relative to the housingin order to generate a braking force, wherein the stationary brake partner is formed as a brake disc

Brake unit for a vehicle wheel module comprising the brake unit, and vehicle comprising the brake unit and/or the wheel module

A wheel hub drive for a vehicle, having: a drive housing; a hub output mounted rotatably relative to the drive housing; a wheel brake for the hub output that has a stationary and a rotating braking partner, the stationary braking partner being connected to the drive housing for conjoint rotation therewith, and the rotating braking partner being connected to the hub output. The two braking partners are frictionally connected in a braking state, A parking brake for fixing the hub output relative to the drive housing. The stationary and rotating brake partners being movable relative to one another when the parking brake is actuated and being frictionally connected to one another in a parked state. The has a ramp mechanism for converting a rotary movement into a linear movement in order to transfer a parking force to the stationary and/or rotating brake partner.
