A one-piece brake carrier for a vehicle disc brake is provided. The brake carrier has a frame-like disc wrap-around element which has two mutually parallel bridge struts, and two frame sections arranged parallel to a brake disc rotation axis and connecting the bridge struts. The brake carrier further has a securing flange by which the brake carrier is fixable to an axle flange. One or both of the frame sections, starting from a side of the brake carrier away from the securing flange widens toward an outer edge of the securing flange.

Brake carrier

A rotationally symmetrical bellows has a first end ring and a second end ring with a smaller diameter, and multiple folds, which in a relaxed position each have two flanks running in opposite directions with respect to one another while forming a bend. The flanks extend approximately parallel to an axis of rotation of the bellows. The rotationally symmetrical bellows is designed such that in a relaxed position of the bellows, the second end ring is arranged at an axial distance to the first end ring.
