Abstract
A modular brake assembly for a drive axle is proposed, comprising a multi-disk brake with a service brake element and a parking brake element, which is disposed in a brake housing (1) with inside diameter between an axle bracket and axle center component. A guide fixed to the housing is provided on the inside diameter of the brake housing (1) for the actuating device (6) for a mechanical differential lock.

A modular brake assembly for a drive axle comprising:
- a multi-disk brake having
- a service brake element (2) and
- a parking brake element (3),
- the modular brake assembly being located in a brake housing (1) axially between an axle bracket and an axle center component,
- a guide being supported within the brake housing (1) on an inside diameter of the brake housing (1), and
- the guide comprising a device (6) for actuating and locking a mechanical differential lock and a return spring (7) for deactivating and unlocking the mechanical differential lock,
- an oil supply line (8) for supplying fluid to the device (6) for actuating the mechanical differential lock, and the oil supply line (8) extending through a bridge of the brake housing (1) located between the service brake element (2) and the parking brake element (3).
