A brake dust particle filter for a brake caliper of a disc brake assembly, wherein the brake caliper comprises a lining inspection opening, closes in a mounted state thereof the lining inspection opening at least partially with precise fit. The brake dust particle filter is provided with a filter medium support that supports a filter medium. A brake caliper provided with the brake dust particle filter in the lining inspection opening is arranged across the brake disc of the disc brake assembly.

Brake dust particle filter, brake caliper and disc brake assembly

A brake dust particle filter for a disc brake assembly is provided to catch particles generated during braking. The brake dust particle filter has a ring segment-shaped housing with two axially spaced apart housing side walls and a radially outwardly positioned housing peripheral wall. The housing peripheral wall is arranged between the housing side walls. The housing accommodates the brake disc in the housing interior. A tongue projects inwardly away from the housing peripheral wall in the housing interior. The tongue projects at least in sections with a radial component and has a flat cross section with a base surface facing the housing peripheral wall, an end face projecting into the housing interior, and a side face. The tongue is formed by a filter medium and has no supporting device components separate from the filter medium. The filter medium provides a satisfactory stiffness keeping the tongue structurally stiff.
