Multi-Disc Brake Actuator For Vibration Damping

US Patent:
5699881, Dec 23, 1997
Filed:
Nov 27, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/757493
Inventors:
Fred William Berwanger - South Bend IN
Daniel S. Reynolds - Long Beach CA
Assignee:
AlliedSignal Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
F16D 5536
US Classification:
188 715
Abstract:
A multi-disc brake (80) includes a piston housing (102) and attached torque tube (94) located about an axle (87). Integrated within the piston housing (102) is a brake actuator (90). The piston housing (102) is located axially between an actuator member (98) of the brake actuator (90) and an axle sleeve (109) and radial portion 87a of the axle (87). Hydraulic actuation of the brake actuator (90) displaces axially the actuator member (98) against a stationary thrust sleeve (99) such that the piston housing (102) is compressed between the actuator member (98) and axle sleeve (109), thereby reducing torsional vibrational movement of the piston housing (102) and torque tube (94) about the axle (87).
