Self-servo vehicle disc brake - has each brake element support offset from plane of element to be braked

摘要

The vehicle brake has brake elements mounted on each side of the disc element (1) to be braked. These brake elements can be pressed by the brake element support against the element to be braked. The support (9) for each brake element support (6) is offset from the plane of the element (1) to be braked so that a resulting force (R) arises which increases with the entrainment force (FB) and which raises the prim. contact pressure force (P) of the brake elements (7). The support (9) can be offset from the plane in the main travel direction (A) or in the two travel directions. USE/ADVANTAGE - Vehicle brake system. The danger of overbraking of a vehicle is clearly reduced while the design of the brake is very cost-effective.
