Abstract
A brake unit for use in utility vehicles includes an actuating element and a piston element, wherein the actuating element is displaceable along an actuation axis, wherein the piston element is displaceable along a piston axis and is secured against displacement transversely to the piston axis, wherein the actuation axis and the piston axis stand substantially transversely to each other, wherein the actuating element comprises an actuating face and wherein the piston element comprises a piston face, and wherein a plurality of roller bodies is arranged between the actuating face and the piston face for transmission of an actuating force between the actuating element and the piston element.
Claims19
A brake unit for use in utility vehicles, comprising:
- an actuating element;
- and
- a piston element;
- wherein the actuating element is displaceable along an actuation axis;
- wherein the piston element is displaceable along a piston axis and is secured against displacement transversely to the piston axis;
- wherein the actuation axis and the piston axis stand substantially transversely to each other;
- wherein the actuating element comprises an actuating face and wherein the piston element comprises a piston face;
- wherein a plurality of roller bodies is arranged between the actuating face and the piston face for transmission of an actuating force between the actuating element and the piston element;
- wherein the roller bodies roll on a first running surface and on a second running surface;
- wherein the first running surface is located on an intermediate element;
- and
- wherein the intermediate element lies at least one of against the actuating face and against the piston face, and is configured to allow at least one of swing movement and a pivot movement of the actuating element relative to the piston axis within an angle from 1° to 8°.
