A brake caliper thrust device for a disc brake is provided. The brake caliper thrust device has a thrust device body adapted to be translated inside a guide device, the thrust device body defining an internal cavity at least partially open and facing towards an object to be pushed, including a brake pad associable with the thrust device. The internal cavity is delimited by at least one internal surface defined by at least one wall of the thrust device. From the at least one wall of the thrust device, at least one heat dissipation element protrudes into the internal cavity, adapted to increase the extension of the at least one internal surface to evacuate heat accumulated by the at least one wall of the thrust device.

Brake caliper thrust device, brake caliper and manufacturing method

A brake caliper for a disc brake having a caliper body, a brake pad and at least one retraction device of the brake pad from a braking disc is described. The device is configured to retract the brake pad from at least one of opposite braking surfaces delimited by the braking disc. The caliper body delimits a first pad abutment surface to delimit a tapered space with the braking surface of the braking disc, the first pad abutment surface being oriented so that, during the braking action, the surface guides the brake pad wedging in the tapered space. The brake pad delimits a retraction surface, inclined in a non-orthogonal direction with respect to the pad plane and oriented so that, during the retraction action, the brake pad is guided partially outside of the tapered space.
