ABSTRACT:
A disc brake has a hydraulic parking brake actuator. A parking brake piston is advanced upon actuation to close a parking brake valve, sealing hydraulic fluid in the service pressure actuating chamber. Further advancing movement of the parking brake piston generates hydraulic pressure in the actuating chamber and engages the brake. Increased pressure in the actuating chamber also increases the sealing force on the valve controlling the sealing of the pressure chamber. The parking brake mode may also be obtained while hydraulic service brake pressure exists in the actuating chamber by moving the parking brake piston sufficiently to close the parking brake valve, trapping pressurized hydraulic fluid in the actuating chamber and holding the brake in the actuated condition. This pressure may be further increased, if desirable, by further advancing movement of the parking brake piston to further increase the pressure.
