Self-energizing disk brake has a self-energizing device with a wedge mechanism and a caliper with a wedge mechanism to produce a self-locking area

摘要

A caliper (2) has a wedge mechanism in order to swivel so that a leading edge angle (alpha 1) is enlarged and, as a result, self-energizing is reduced in a self-energizing disk brake (1). This makes it possible to design the disk brake for a self-locking area and to prevent blocking reliably.
