[0050] Fig. 3: A detailed view of an inclined ball track according to an embodiment of the present invention. 119472P504PC 12 / 19 RENK GmbH

[0051] Fig. 1 shows a multi-disc brake, in particular a double-disc brake, 1 with a clamping mechanism 2, wherein the clamping mechanism 2 comprises a first rotor clamping element 11 and a second rotor clamping element 12. Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 2 comprises a first stator clamping element 21 and a second stator clamping element 22. A housing 30 is also shown, which, in one embodiment, encloses or surrounds the multi-disc brake, in particular a double-disc brake, 1. The housing 30 has a passage 31, in particular single- or multi-channel, especially with a plurality of channels, which is configured to supply coolant to the stator clamping elements 21, 22, in particular to provide a fluid connection. For particularly effective liquid cooling, the stator clamping elements 21, 22 each have a cooling channel, which is further configured, in particular, to be in fluid connection with the channel of the housing 30.Furthermore, a connecting tube 40 is shown on each side, which enables a fluid connection between the (shown) passage 31 (see arrow) of the housing 30, which can be extended, particularly when the brake is applied. In the open position, as shown in Fig. 1, the rotor clamping elements, which are shown with brake linings, can rotate. If the slant ball track 3, which in one embodiment is particularly centrally actuated, is activated, this actuates the clamping mechanism 2. Furthermore, an arrangement of a gearbox or an arrangement on a gearbox housing 32, in particular a superimposed steering gear, is indicated in Fig. 1 on the left side of the blade. Even though the figures refer to embodiments with double disc (brakes), this applies without limitation of generality. In embodiments, the multi-disc brakes can have an even or odd number of brake discs, which can be, or are, arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically.

[0052] Fig. 2 shows the multi-disc brake, in particular the double-disc brake, 1 of Fig. 1 in a closed, actuated, or braking state. It can be seen that the connecting tubes 40 compensate for the movement of the actuation of the clamping mechanism, so that, in particular, the fluid connection between passage 31 and the cooling channel of the stator clamping elements 21, 22 is maintained. Specifically, in the case of an axial movement of the clamping mechanism, especially of the stator clamping elements, this axial movement is compensated for by means of the connecting tube(s) 40. For this purpose, the connecting tube 40, in one embodiment, has a seal, which is particularly suitable. 119472P504PC 13 / 19 RENK GmbH

[0053] Fig. 3 shows a detailed view of an inclined ball track, wherein the actuation or actuation mechanism of the inclined ball track is independently operable for the tracks, in particular each of the tracks, and is specifically designed or used for this purpose. For this purpose, actuation elements 3d and 3e are shown in Fig. 3, in particular, by means of which the (respective) inclined ball track can be actuated or which are designed for this purpose. In one embodiment, an actuation, in particular an independent actuation, has a compensating bearing 3c, which is specifically designed to compensate for the actuation of the inclined ball track, at least substantially, and in particular to ensure actuation, in particular only, of one side of an inclined ball track.

Although exemplary implementations were explained in the preceding description, it should be noted that a multitude of variations are possible. Furthermore, it should be noted that the exemplary implementations are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection, applications, or structure in any way.Rather, the preceding description provides the skilled person with a guideline for implementing at least one exemplary embodiment, whereby various modifications, particularly with regard to the function and arrangement of the described components, can be made without departing from the scope of protection as defined by the claims and these equivalent combinations of features. 119472P504PC 14 / 19 RENK GmbH.
