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.
Claims13
An electromotively actuated drum brake module with improved cable pull actuator arrangement for motor vehicles, comprising an electromechanical cable pull actuator which is arranged on an outer side of the 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, averted from the cable pull actuator 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 wherein an adapter is arranged between cable pull actuator and anchor plate, wherein the adapter is provided in the form of a unipartite and thin-walled frame which, on one side, has at least one planar fastening flange for accommodating the cable pull actuator, wherein the frame is fixed at the other side to the anchor plate, and in that the frame is provided in unipartite form with multiple thin struts which are arranged at an angle and obliquely with respect to one another and which extend between fastening flange and anchor plate.
