Abstract
Examples of a brake assembly including an anti-vibration support to reduce vertical oscillation of a brake actuator are disclosed herein. In one example, a brake assembly includes a spring-applied, hydraulic release (SAHR) brake actuator coupled to a caliper and cantilevered over an axle housing, and an anti-vibration bracket that terminates at the SAHR brake actuator at a first end and extends under the SAHR brake actuator at an angle relative to the SAHR brake actuator.
Claims19
A brake assembly, comprising:
- a spring-applied, hydraulic release (SAHR) brake actuator coupled to a caliper and cantilevered over an axle housing;
- and
- an anti-vibration bracket that terminates at the SAHR brake actuator at a first end and extends under the SAHR brake actuator at an angle relative to the SAHR brake actuator, wherein, at a second end, the anti-vibration bracket couples to a brake mount configured to position the caliper relative to a brake shaft housing.
A brake assembly, comprising:
- a spring-applied, hydraulic release (SAHR) brake actuator coupled to a caliper and cantilevered over an axle housing;
- an anti-vibration bracket that terminates at the SAHR brake actuator at a first end and extends under the SAHR brake actuator at an angle relative to the SAHR brake actuator;
- and
- a rubber tip positioned between the anti-vibration bracket and the SAHR brake actuator.
A brake assembly, comprising:
- a brake shaft housing that at least partially houses a brake disc coupled to a rotatable brake shaft, a set of brake pads, and a caliper, the brake shaft housing configured to couple to an axle central housing, the caliper coupled to the brake shaft housing via a brake mount;
- a brake actuator coupled to the caliper and configured to extend over the axle central housing;
- and
- an anti-vibration support coupled to a bottom of a housing of the brake actuator and coupled to the brake mount.
A system, comprising:
- an axle central housing configured to house an input shaft;
- and
- a spring applied, hydraulic release (SAHR) brake assembly coupled to the axle central housing and comprising:
- a brake shaft housing that houses a brake disc coupled to a rotatable brake shaft, a set of brake pads, and a caliper coupled to the brake shaft housing via a brake mount, the brake shaft configured to couple to the input shaft;
- a SAHR actuator coupled to the caliper and cantilevered over a portion of a top of the axle central housing;
- and
- an anti-vibration bracket coupled between a bottom of a housing of the SAHR actuator and the brake mount.
