Abstract
The invention relates to a brake actuator, especially for a rail vehicle brake, comprising an accumulation brake unit having an energy accumulator (10) for storing and supplying energy for applying the brake, preferably in the event of safety braking and/or park braking, and a locking device (90) for locking and unlocking the energy accumulator (10). After the release of the locking device (90), an inertia weight (118) from part of the energy released from the energy accumulator (10) can be subjected to a rotational movement for damping purposes.
Claims13
Brake actuator, particularly for a rail vehicle brake, comprising an accumulator-type brake unit with an energy accumulator (10) for storing and supplying energy for applying the brake, preferably in the event of a safety and/or parking braking, and having a locking device (90) for locking and unlocking the energy accumulator (10), after the release of the locking device (90), an inertia weight (118) being capable of being caused to carry out a rotating movement for damping purposes by a portion of the energy released from the energy accumulator (10),
- characterized in that the inertia weight (118) comprises at least one separate inertia element (98) used only for generating the mass inertia.
