The invention relates to a brake cylinder ( ) and a hydraulic rim brake comprising a unit for receiving a brake pad ( ). With known brake cylinders, it is difficult to remove the running wheel if the tire mounted on the wheel rim ( ) is substantially wider than the wheel rim ( ), since the wheel has to be moved through the gap between the two brake pads arranged on the brake cylinder. The brake cylinder according to the invention should have a simple structure and permit easy removal of the running wheel. The brake cylinder ( ) according to the invention has a connecting member ( ) for the arrangement of the brake cylinder ( ) on a frame part ( &Prime;) in a manner rotatable about an axis, the axis being essentially orthogonal to the receiving unit for the brake pad ( ).

Brake cylinder for a rim brake

In order to provide a disk brake for vehicles, comprising a brake disk securely connectable to a hub, a brake caliper engaging over the brake disk on oppositely located sides, at least one first brake lining movable in the direction of the brake disk in relation to the brake caliper and at least one second brake lining arranged on the brake caliper so as to be non-displaceable, with which the brake linings do not touch the brake disk in the non-actuated state, it is suggested that the brake caliper be arranged so as to be fixed in a defined geometrical correlation to the hub, that the brake caliper be positioned in relation to the brake disk when the disk brake is not actuated such that a gap exists between the brake linings and the brake disk, and that when the disk brake is actuated the first brake lining act on the brake disk in such a manner that an outer ring of the brake disk acted upon by the first brake lining moves in the direction of the second brake lining under elastic deformation of the brake disk and abuts on the second brake lining.
