AI Technical Summary
Floating caliper brakes face mechanical and thermal stresses, requiring a robust drive mechanism to withstand multidirectional braking forces, but existing technologies struggle to effectively decouple axial and transverse forces, leading to reduced brake safety and increased noise and wear.
A braking device with a piston and a thrust head connected by elastic members, such as compression or spiral springs, allowing transverse movement and restoring forces, which decouples transverse forces from the piston drive system, enabling selective transmission of axial forces and reducing wear on mechanical components.
This solution enhances brake robustness, increases the number of braking cycles, reduces noise, and facilitates assembly and mass production by decoupling transverse forces, improving safety and longevity of brake components.
