A caliper disc brake of a vehicle has a brake disc with an axis of rotation, a brake caliper, a brake anchor plate, a force transmission element, such asa lining support and/or a pressure plate, a holding-down spring for holding down the force transmission element, and a holding-down device () which is held and supported on the caliper by a holding device, which pretensions the holding-down spring adially against the force transmission device and tangentially in the direction of rotation against the force transmission device during forwards travel. The holding device has a center line parallel to the axis of rotation. The tangential pre-tensioning is at least partially due to the dimensions (VV) of the holding-down device in the tangential direction from the center line (M) being larger on the disc exit side than on the disc entry side.

A caliper disk brake of a vehicle with a brake disk, a brake caliper, a brake anchor plate, a force transmission element guided and supported in a shaft of the brake caliper or of the brake anchor plate, a holding-down spring for holding down the force transmission element, and a holding-down device held and supported on the caliper by a holding device, pretensions the holding-down spring radially against the force transmission device and pretensions the holding-down spring tangentially in the direction of rotation against the force transmission device during forwards travel. The holding device has a center line parallel to the axis of rotation of the brake disk. The tangential pre-tensioning is at least partially attributed to the dimensions of the holding-down device, as measured in the tangential direction from the center line, being larger at least in sections on the disk exit side than on the disk entry side.

A caliper disc brake of a vehicle, in particular of a commercial vehicle, a brake disc, a brake caliper, a brake support plate, a force transmission element, such as, for example, a pad support and/or a pressure plate, which is guided and supported in a well of the brake caliper or of the brake anchor plate, a holding-down spring () for holding down the force transmission element, and a holding-down device (). The holding-down device is held by a holding device, pretensions the holding-down spring radially against the force transmission element and pretensions the holding-down spring tangentially in the direction of rotation against the force transmission element during forwards travel. The holding-down spring has two identical spring legs that enclose an angle of more than 95&#xb0; with the base in the relaxed state and an angle of less than 85&#xb0; with the respectively adjacent spring leg.

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.
