Abstract
The disclosure relates to a vehicle brake system having a vehicle axle and a first and second brake assembly for a respective electromechanical vehicle brake. The brake assemblies can be arranged on opposite sides of the vehicle axle at the same position relative to the brake rotor provided there, wherein the first brake assembly has an actuator assembly fastened to the brake calliper in the first position and the second brake assembly has an actuator assembly fastened to the brake calliper in the second position, and the brake callipers and the actuator assemblies can be positioned with mirror symmetry relative to a vertical mirror plane extending along the central longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The disclosure also relates to a brake assembly.
Claims18
A vehicle brake system having a vehicle axle and a first and second brake assembly for a respective electromechanical vehicle brake, wherein the brake assemblies each comprise:
- a brake calliper in which a space is provided for receiving a brake rotor,
- a linearly guided brake piston that can be moved between a first, extended position and a second, retracted position in order to apply a brake pad to the brake rotor, and
- an actuator assembly that can be fastened to the associated brake calliper,
- wherein the brake callipers, brake pistons and actuator assemblies are each identical in their respective construction,
- wherein a fastening geometry is provided on the brake callipers for fastening the actuator assembly, which fastening geometry is designed such that the actuator assembly can be mounted on the brake calliper in a first position and a second position relative to said brake calliper, and
- the brake assemblies can be arranged on opposite sides of the vehicle axle at the same position relative to the brake rotor provided there, wherein the first brake assembly has an actuator assembly fastened to the brake calliper in the first position and the second brake assembly has an actuator assembly fastened to the brake calliper in the second position, and the brake callipers and the actuator assemblies can be positioned with mirror symmetry relative to a vertical mirror plane extending along a central longitudinal axis of a vehicle.
A brake assembly for an electromechanical vehicle brake of a vehicle brake system, comprising:
- a brake calliper designed as a floating calliper having two guide pins forming a linear bearing, in which a brake calliper space is provided for receiving a brake rotor,
- a linearly guided brake piston that can be moved between a first, extended position and a second, retracted position in order to apply the brake pad to the brake rotor, and
- an actuator assembly that can be fastened to the brake calliper,
- wherein a fastening geometry is provided on the brake calliper for fastening the actuator assembly, which fastening geometry is designed such that the actuator assembly can be mounted on the brake calliper in a first position and a second position relative to said brake calliper, such that the actuator assembly, viewed in a direction of the guide pins, can be mounted relative to a connecting line of the centres of the two guide pins in angular positions that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
