BRAKING DEVICE FOR BRAKING A MOVEMENT OF A FIRST VEHICLE PART AND A SECOND VEHICLE PART WITH RESPECT TO EACH OTHER

摘要

A braking device for braking a movement of a first vehicle part and a second vehicle part with respect to each other comprises a housing element having an inner bore and a piston element having a shaft extending in the inner bore along a longitudinal axis and being mounted on the housing element such that the shaft is displaceable along the longitudinal axis with respect to the housing element along a displacement path. A braking element is arranged within the inner bore of the housing element and constituted to provide a friction force for braking a displacement movement of the piston element and the housing element with respect to each other at least within a portion of the displacement path. A tensioning device is constituted to radially, with respect to the longitudinal axis, act onto the braking element to provide a radial tensioning force. The braking element, for braking the displacement movement of the piston element and the housing element with respect to each other, is in frictional contact with the housing element or the piston element or a component connected to the housing element or the piston element at least within said portion of the displacement path.
