Abstract

Claims (26)

1 . A system, comprising

a transmission unit being arranged for converting a rotational motion into a translational motion, the transmission unit including an input and an output, wherein the input is configured to receive torque from a motor and the output is configured to provide a brake force for pressing a brake pad against a friction surface;

a housing defining a hydraulic pressure chamber, wherein the housing at least partially encompasses the transmission unit; and

an axially movable piston arranged in the housing and coupled to the transmission unit such that a translational motion of the piston causes a translational motion of the transmission unit for providing the brake force in a hydraulic fall-back mode; and

a roller bearing disposed between the input and the piston, wherein the bearing is configured to enable a rotating movement of the transmission's input relative to the piston,

wherein at least the output of the transmission unit is axially disposed between the piston and the brake pad and is disposed to press the brake pad directly,

wherein the input of the transmission unit is disposed to entirely pass through the piston and the hydraulic pressure chamber, and

wherein the piston comprises a receiving section in which the input of the transmission unit is received.

2 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising said motor, the motor including an output shaft coupled to the input of the transmission unit.

3 . The system according to claim 2 , wherein the input of the transmission unit and the output shaft are rotatably connected by a splined connection.

4 . The system according to claim 2 , wherein the input of the transmission unit is slidably arranged with respect to the output shaft of the motor.

5 . The system according to claim 2 , wherein the motor is configured to adjust a size of a gap between the brake pad and the friction surface by driving the output shaft.

6 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the transmission unit is axially disposed between the piston and the brake pad and/or wherein the piston encompasses at least a part of the input of the transmission unit.

7 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising a brake caliper for receiving the brake pad, wherein the housing is an integral part of the brake caliper or wherein the housing is connected to the brake caliper.

8 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising an elastic member biasing the piston and/or the transmission unit towards a hydraulic rest position.

9 . A brake system, comprising the system according to claim 1 .

10 . The brake system according to claim 9 , the system is configured to provide the brake force to two wheels, other two wheels are provided with a braking force by any one of an electro-mechanical brake, a hydraulic brake and an electro-hydraulic brake for providing.

11 . A system, comprising

a motor including an output shaft;

a transmission unit being arranged for converting a rotational motion into a translational motion, the transmission unit including an input coupled to the output shaft and an output, wherein the input is configured to receive torque from the motor and slidably arranged with respect to the output shaft and the output is configured to provide a brake force for pressing a brake pad against a friction surface;

a housing defining a hydraulic pressure chamber, wherein the housing at least partially encompasses the transmission unit;

an axially movable piston arranged in the housing and moved by pressurized brake fluid filled in the hydraulic pressure chamber, wherein the piston encompassed at least a part of the input of the transmission unit such that a translational motion of the piston causes a translational motion of the input and the output for providing the brake force in a hydraulic operation mode; and

a roller bearing disposed between the input and the piston, wherein the bearing is configured to enable a rotating movement of the transmission's input relative to the piston,

wherein at least the output of the transmission unit is axially disposed between the piston and the brake pad and is disposed to press the brake pad directly,

wherein the input of the transmission unit is disposed to entirely pass through the piston and the hydraulic pressure chamber, and

wherein the piston comprises a receiving section in which the input of the transmission unit is received.
