Abstract
A drum brake module for motor vehicles, the drum brake module being driven by an electric motor and having at least one parking brake function, includes an electromechanical cable pull actuator which is fastened on the anchor plate with the aid of an adapter. The adapter is designed as a one-piece, thin walled frame having at least one fastening flange for receiving the cable pull actuator and is held in place on the anchor plate.
Claims14
An electromotively actuated drum brake module with a cable pull actuator arrangement for motor vehicles, comprising:
- an electromechanical cable pull actuator which is arranged on an outer side of an anchor plate and which serves for driving a rotation-translation converter for converting a rotational drive input rotary movement into a translational actuation movement of brake pads, which brake pads are arranged on an inner side of the anchor plate in an interior of a brake drum, such that said brake pads can perform an actuation movement in the direction of the brake drum;
- and
- an adapter arranged between the cable pull actuator and the anchor plate,
- wherein the adapter comprises a single sheet of material provided in unipartite form and being formed into a frame having multiple planar walls which are arranged at an angle and obliquely with respect to one another, the frame defining a cavity, the frame having, on one side, at least one planar fastening flange for accommodating the cable pull actuator, the frame being fixable at another side to the anchor plate, with the multiple planar walls extending between the fastening flange and the anchor plate.
