The invention relates to a disk brake, particularly for commercial vehicles, comprising a hold-down spring () for holding down a force transmission device of the disk brake, wherein the hold-down spring comprises a first holding region () having a first support device for support on a hold-down device in the one circumferential direction of the brake disk of the disk brake and having a second support device for support on the hold-down device in the other circumferential direction of the brake disk. The hold-down spring comprises a second holding region () having a third support device for support on a hold-down device in the one circumferential direction of the brake disk and having a fourth support device for support on the hold-down device in the other circumferential direction of the brake disk. The first holding region is located symmetrically to the second holding region in regards to an axis of symmetry of the hold-down spring that is provided transversally to the longitudinal extension of the hold-down spring.

Disk brake, in particular for commercial vehicles, and hold-down spring of such a disk brake

Various embodiments of the invention relate to a vehicle, especially a commercial vehicle, with a braking system for a wheel of the vehicle having an axle arrangement and a brake, especially a disc brake, whereby the cross-section of the axle arrangement has an outer contour differing from a circle, and the brake has a brake carrier. According to one embodiment of the invention, the brake carrier has an opening whose inner contour differs from a circle and the outer contour lies on the axle arrangement such that the brake carrier surrounds the axle of the brake to form a keyed fit with the axle arrangement.

Keyed contour braking system for a commercial vehicle

Embodiments of the present invention provide a brake carrier for a disk brake, which comprises a flange facing in parallel to the brake disk plane. The brake carrier comprises a flange facing having at least two sections that are configured on respective shoulders on the side of the brake carrier facing away from the brake disk.
