A brake application device for vehicles, in particular rail vehicles, which comprises a wear adjuster that is configured as a brake actuator with a screw drive, having a threaded spindle and a nut that can be screwed onto said spindle as the screw parts. At least one of the screw parts is electrically actuated for wear adjustment.

Brake application device comprising an electrically actuated wear adjuster

The invention relates to a brake application device for vehicles, in particular rail vehicles, comprising a unit for emergency release and a unit for auxiliary release. The release units are integrated into a combined device for emergency and auxiliary release of the brakes. The combined device is electrically actuated by a common drive unit.

Brake application device comprising an electrically actuated device for emergency and auxiliary release

A brake application device for vehicles, especially for rail vehicles, comprising a wear-adjusting device which is embodied in a brake actuator and comprises a helical gear which is provided with a threaded spindle and a nut as screw connection parts, said nut being screwed onto said threaded spindle. One of the screw connection parts of the helical gear is electrically driven in order to adjust the wear of the brakes and the other screw connection part of the helical gear for the emergency release and/or auxiliary release of the brakes.

Brake application device comprising an electrically actuated wear-adjusting emergency release and auxiliary release device

A block brake device of a bogie of a rail vehicle containing two wheel sets with two wheels respectively as well as two brake beams each assigned to a wheel axle and extending parallel to the latter, which brake beams carry brake blocks and are mutually connected by way of pressing rods which can be actuated by at least one pressure-medium operated cylinder piston drive for the braking engagement of the brake blocks with assigned braking areas of the wheels. At least a portion of a brake beam forms the cylinder of the cylinder piston drive.

Block brake device of a bogie of a rail vehicle

The invention relates to a spring brake cylinder with an emergency release device, comprising the following: a housing in which a spring-loaded piston can be moved axially with a piston rod, at least one spring-loaded spring, wherein the emergency release device comprises an actuation device, an emergency release mechanism to interrupt the power transmission between the spring-loaded piston and the piston rod and a holding device for holding the emergency release device in a transmission condition. The invention further includes a blocking device to prevent the holding device from holding of the emergency release mechanism in a transmission position when the spring-loaded piston only partly released

Spring brake cylinder with an emergency release device

The invention relates to a brake actuator, especially a brake actuator for rail vehicle brake calipers for a disc brake. Said brake actuator comprises a service brake unit with an electromotive drive system for clamping and releasing the brake, a safety brake unit with a pre-loaded spring device for clamping the brake, and a brake spindle for converting the movements of the electromotive drive system into a translatory movement for activating a brake clamping mechanism; especially for activating brake calipers. The invention is characterized in that the pre-loaded spring device and the brake spindle are positioned coaxially in relation to each other and are mechanically series-connected.
