Fluid Actuated Brakes TRIZ Cases
- Ball Ramp Caliper Brake Needle Thrust Bearing
A caliper brake uses a needle thrust bearing to reduce friction between the rotating actuator and housing.
- Utility Vehicle Entry Steps with Inward-Offset Outer Surface
Inward offset outer surface positions entry steps within the vehicle outline to maintain a flush profile.
- Brake Piston Engaging Mechanism for Drag Prevention
An engaging portion enables controlled rearward piston movement during brake release, preventing drag and response delays while maintaining force stability.
- Spherical-faced washers for hydraulic caliper disc brake alignment
Spherical-faced washers self-align with the rotor to prevent piston lock-up, eliminating manual shimming during installation.
- Auxiliary Braking System for Aircraft Wheel Wear Reduction
An auxiliary braking system with a rotating housing and stationary torque tube reduces wheel rotation frequency through disc stack compression.
