Brake device for vehicles with elastic mean for storing clamping energy

摘要

The device has a Belleville spring washer (44) storing locking energy and being interposed between a control unit and a friction lining (20a). The washer is compressed between the control unit and the lining when the control unit pushes the lining towards locking position to maintain the lining locked against a disk (12). The unlocking of the lining and the disk is caused by cooling them.
