A transmission assembly has more than one reduction ratio. For this purpose, the transmission assembly can comprise a planetary transmission in which the annulus can rotate freely in a first position and in which the annulus is held fixed against rotation in a second position. A method of operating a transmission assembly is also disclosed.

Transmission assembly with more than one reduction ratio and method for operating a transmission assembly

A friction lining assembly having a backing plate and a sheet metal restoring spring fixed thereto, for a partially lined sliding-caliper type disk brake having a brake holder fixed with respect to the vehicle, on which friction lining assemblies arranged on both sides of a brake disk are slidably guided. A housing, which extends over the brake disk and the friction lining assemblies, is slidably mounted on the brake holder. The restoring spring is clamped axially between the brake holder and the friction lining assembly by at least one spring leg and applies a release clearance to the friction lining assembly. The spring leg extends over a hammer-head-shaped claw of the backing plate. The spring leg is plastically deformable in a defined manner under braking actuation as a result of a reduction in the friction-material thickness in order to impose a constantly dimensioned release clearance on the friction lining assembly.

Friction lining assembly having a restoring spring for limiting clearance for a motor-vehicle partially lined disk brake

A backing plate for a disk brake lining, a disk brake lining, and a motor-vehicle partially lined disk brake, wherein the backing plate and a corresponding disk brake lining having friction material are provided and wherein a retaining protrusion having a through-hole for receiving a retaining pin is provided on the backing plate radially inside on an end face, and wherein a guide protrusion having a jaw opening and having a receiving pocket for receiving a guide pin is positioned radially outside on the opposite end face.

Backing plate for a disk brake lining, disk brake lining, and fixed-caliper disk brake therefor

A partially lined motor-vehicle disk brake of the first caliper type, with a housing including an actuator system as a normal force generator mounted in a slidably guided fashion on a holder, with at least one friction lining which is configured in a hammerhead shape with claws and which is accommodated in a guided fashion with pull-support in holder arms with receptacle recesses in the holder. In order to avoid reversing clicks, the holder is embodied as a closed frame in that holder webs connect the holder arms to one another, and the holder webs are positioned tangentially in front of the housing limbs of the housing. Accordingly, the force flux in the holder is closed, and in the case of pull suspension all the holder arms are nevertheless included in the force flux.
