Assignee:

Robert Bosch GmbH - Stuttgart

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
B60T 13/74

US Classification:

701 70, 303 3

Abstract:

A mechanism for reducing brake noise during braking of a vehicle. The mechanism includes controllers and methods that “hold” a currently applied braking torque rather than applying the operator-requested braking torque when a vehicle is traveling at a low speed and the operator-requested braking torque is within a predetermined range. The controllers and methods “release” the previously “held” braking torque and apply the operator-requested braking torque once the operator-requested braking torque is outside the predetermined range.

Abstract:

A guide pin, for a disc brake assembly, comprises a head portion and a stem. The stem extends from the head portion along an axis and has a circular cross section, a first stem portion, and a second stem portion. The first stem portion is adjacent a tip of the stem. The second stem portion is between the first portion and the head portion. The first stem portion has a first radius from the axis and the second stem portion has a second radius from the axis. The second radius is less than the first radius. A surface is on the first and second stem portions. A distance is from a plane to the surface. The plane is parallel to the surface and the axis is in the plane. The distance is less than the second radius.
