A mechanical wear gauge for detecting a brake liner wear and a brake disc wear of a disc brake for vehicles, in particular for utility vehicles, includes a brake liner wear detection mechanism and a brake disc wear detection mechanism. Brake liners and brake discs are subjected to a wear so that the brake liner thickness and the brake disc thickness decrease with an increasing period of use. A base member includes an arm member having a pincer leg. A first sliding member having a pincer leg is slidable relative to the base member and arm member to detect brake disc wear. A second sliding member, extending parallel to the first sliding member, is slidable relative to the base member to detect brake liner wear.

Mechanical wear gauge

A brake application device () for a disc brake () of commercial vehicles comprising an actuating spindle () with, axially of the actuating spindle (), a pressure plate () arranged on the actuating spindle (), and the pressure plate () having an annular groove () radially for receiving a boot (). A heat shield () is at least partially disposed between the pressure plate head () and the boot () at a spacing (X). An insulating layer () may be present between the heat shield () and the pressure plate head (). The heat shield () may be a metal ring () encapsulated in or coated with an elastomer (). The heat shield () may alternatively be formed of plastic or silicone.

Disc brake and brake application device for commercial vehicles

A cover panel () for a disc brake () for covering an installation opening () of the disc brake (), wherein the disc brake () comprises a brake carrier () and a brake caliper () sliding on the brake carrier () axially in the direction of an application side (Z) or axially in the direction of a rim side (F).
