Abstract
A brake system that includes a brake piston that includes a piston pocket. A nut is located inside the piston pocket. During a brake apply, the brake piston is adapted to move a brake pad against a brake rotor to create a clamping force. During the brake apply, the nut is moved with the brake piston.
Claims19
A brake system comprising:
- a brake piston comprising a piston pocket having a wall;
- a rotary to linear stage mechanism, the rotary to linear stage mechanism comprises a nut located within the piston pocket, the nut comprises an O-ring;
- wherein during a brake apply, the nut is configured to rotate within the piston pocket, and during the brake apply the brake piston is configured to axially move the nut, and
- wherein the O-ring is configured to engage the wall of the piston pocket so that the nut is restricted from rotating when the nut is axially moved during another brake apply.

A brake system, comprising:
- a first brake piston comprising a first piston pocket;
- a first nut located inside of the first piston pocket;
- an O-ring surrounding the first nut;
- and
- a first clip located inside of the first piston pocket;
- wherein during a brake apply, the first brake piston is configured to move, and movement of the first brake piston causes the first nut to move, and
- wherein the O-ring is configured to frictionally engage a wall of the first piston pocket so that the first nut is restricted from rotating during another brake apply.
4 more elements
A brake system comprising:
- a brake piston;
- a piston pocket defined inside of the brake piston;
- a clip located inside of the piston pocket;
- a nut located inside of the piston pocket;
- and
- an O-ring surrounding the nut;
- wherein during a first braking application, the brake piston is configured to move the nut,
- wherein during a second braking application, the nut is configured to move the brake piston, and
- wherein the O-ring is configured to frictionally engage the piston pocket so that the nut is restricted from rotating during the second braking application.
