The present invention relates to a spot-type disc brake with a brake housing straddling a brake disc, with at least one brake pad that is arranged in the brake housing so as to be slidable in the actuating direction and cooperates tribologically with the brake disc upon brake application, with at least one actuating device arranged in the brake housing to apply an actuating force to the brake pad, and with a spring assembly for the active adjustment of a clearance between the brake pad and the brake disc after brake application. To simplify the configuration of the spring assembly, the spring assembly comprises exactly one spring which is secured detachably in the spot-type disc brake and is supported on the brake pad and on the brake housing. A spring of this type is arranged advantageously symmetrically within the brake housing to prevent an undesirable inclined positioning of the brake pads.

Spot-type disc brake with a spring assembly for a brake pad

The invention relates to a spot-type disc brake for automotive vehicle with a floating caliper ( ) displaceably borne on a vehicle-fixed brake support ( ) and bridging a brake disc as well as brake pads ( ) arranged on both sides of the brake disc, where the brake pads ( ) are axially displaceably guided in the brake support ( ). To achieve a particularly radially rattle-free fixation of the brake pads ( ) as well as the floating caliper ( ) on the brake support ( ), it is provided to support the floating caliper ( ) on its, with respect to the vehicle, outside on the brake support ( ) through the outer brake pad ( ). To this end, the outer brake pad ( ) is radially locked on the brake support ( ), and the outer brake pad ( ) itself on the corresponding housing leg ( ).

Spot-type disc brake for an automotive vehicle

The present invention relates to a disc brake with hydraulically operable brake pads and a mechanical actuating which includes an actuating shaft that is rotatably and sealedly mounted in a bore of a brake housing and acts upon at least one of the brake pads. The present invention focuses on that at least in the area of a shaft duct, a sealing element is provided which is fixed to the actuating shaft so as to rotate along with it and cooperates with at least one associated sealing element and/or mating sealing surfaces in a radial direction. The sealing element bridges a portion of the actuating shaft which is different from the shape of a circle.

A floating-frame spot-type disc brake is described comprising a floating frame (1) guided in a manner axially displaceable on a brake carrier (12), and being furnished with two brake cylinders (2, 3) and two brake pistons (4, 5) directly acting on two axially inwardly disposed brake shoes (6, 7). The brake carrier (12) is located entirely on one side of the brake disc and no portion extends across the outer edge of the brake disc (15), so that the maximum diameter of the brake disc is limited only by the relatively thin sections of the floating frame (1) extending across the outer edge of the brake disc. Additional brake shoes (8, 9, 22), on the axially outer side, are fixed to the floating frame (1), in turn transmitting the circumferential force acting on the outer shoes occurring during braking, through a bolt guide (10), into the brake carrier (12).

Floating-frame spot-type disc brake for high-torque automotive vehicles

The invention is related to a spot-type disc brake with a stationary brake carrier (19) at which a floating caliper (1) is slidingly guided which straddles the edge of a brake disc (10), with two brake cylinders (11, 12) which are positioned on the internal axial side of the brake disc (10) aside each other and whose brake pistons (13, 14) act on the brake shoes (5, 7) which are arranged on the same axial side and in circumferential direction of the brake disc (10) at a distance from each other. According to the invention a third brake shoe (6) is fixed on the external axial side of the brake disc (10) to the floating caliper (1), which brake shoe is positioned staggered in such a manner that its friction area point of gravity (36) comes to be arranged substantially between the other two brake shoes (5, 7) in the circumferential direction of the brake disc (10). Braking noises and brake rubbing are eliminated by this arrangement. Further advantages of the inventive brake are constituted by its ease of serviceability in view of an ease of mounting of the brake shoes (5, 6, 7) and by its floating caliper (1) which allows to be manufactured with ease and at but low cost and with but little material, and which simultaneously with a low weight affords an elevated stiffness and a large brake disc diameter.

Automatic adjusting apparatus for a disc brake

Floating caliper and brake shoe for spot-type disc brakes

Resetting of the actuator piston of a disc brake by an adjusting device is enabled by sliding movement of the piston so that a piston position may be reset without any special arrangement for turning an adjusting spindle (5), or by turning the piston itself. The adjusting spindle (5) is released for rotation during resetting, while the adjusting spindle (5) is normally fixed against rotation yet axially slidably during the time of hydraulic actuation and during manual braking.
