A disc brake for a utility vehicle includes a brake caliper, designed as a sliding caliper and engaging over a brake disc, which is secured to a stationary brake carrier. Two brake pads, which are arranged in the brake caliper, can move inversely and have a respective pad carrier plate and a friction lining secured thereon, of which an action-side or application-side brake pad can be pressed against the brake disc by an application device via at least one brake piston. The brake pads are each accommodated in a pad housing of the stationary brake carrier, wherein the pad housing is formed by two opposing brake carrier horns and a longitudinal connector connecting the brake carrier horns. At least one of the brake pads is assigned a pad return device, with which the at least one brake pad can be returned after a brake-dependent shifting and releasing of the brake.

Disc brake for a utility vehicle, and brake pad set

A disc brake for a utility vehicle has a brake caliper which fits around a brake disc, is in the form of a sliding caliper, is fastened to a stationary brake carrier and has a central opening over the brake disc. The disc brake has two brake pads which are arranged in the brake caliper, can be moved in opposite directions and each have a pad carrier plate and a friction lining fastened thereto, and of which an action-side brake pad can be pressed against the brake disc by a tensioning device via at least one brake piston. The disc brake also has at least one spreading device with which the brake caliper can be returned after a displacement caused by braking and after a release of the brake. The spreading device has resilient spring units which act on the mutually opposing brake pads. The spreading device is arranged in the central opening, and the spring units act directly or indirectly outside the friction linings in at least two attachment interfaces, spaced from each other and from the center, of the brake pads. The spring units are connected to a stationary attachment element in at least one connection interface by at least one connection element.

A disc brake for a vehicle, particularly for a commercial vehicle, includes a brake caliper which straddles a brake disc and in which an application device is arranged, a single-piece rotary lever which has an eccentric element, and at least one brake plunger which is designed as a power screw arrangement having a rotational axis and with which, when the rotary lever is actuated, at least one brake pad can be pressed against the brake disc. The rotary lever is arranged in the brake caliper such that it can pivot relative thereto, and is supported directly or by way of one or more elements connected therebetween, on said brake caliper, in at least one support region. The rotary lever, which can pivot relative to the brake plunger, has at least one convexly-formed section on the side thereof that lies opposite the support point on the brake caliper, and this section lies against a matching concave end face in the axial extension of the rotational axis of said power screw arrangement.

Disc brake for a vehicle, particularly for a commercial vehicle

A disc brake for a vehicle, in particular for a commercial vehicle, includes a brake caliper, which extends over a brake disc; a brake application device arranged in the brake caliper for pressing brake pads against the brake disc; at least one brake piston, which can be moved axially by the brake application device; an adjustment device, which is positioned in the brake caliper and which is operatively connected, by a gearing, to the brake piston in order to axially adjust the brake piston in order to compensate a clearance change resulting from wear. The gearing has an input gear, which is retained on the adjustment device for conjoint rotation, and an output gear, which is retained on the brake piston for conjoint rotation. The disc brake is designed such that the output gear connected to the brake piston for conjoint rotation and the input gear of the adjustment device, which input gear corresponds thereto, are arranged in a driver device, which is held in an axially movable but rotationally fixed manner.

Disc brake for a commercial vehicle

A disc brake has a brake caliper which straddled a brake disc and is mounted on a stationary brake carrier so as to be axially movable in relation to the brake disc. Brake pads which are placed in the brake caliper can be pressed against the brake disc by a brake application mechanism during a braking operation. In order to be axially movable, the brake caliper is mounted on at least one guide bar that is connected to the brake carrier. A device is provided for optically detecting wear of a brake disc and/or a brake pad. In order for wear to be detectable, a comparative element which runs parallel to the guide bar, extends away from brake disc, and includes at least one step, is mounted on the brake carrier.

A brake pad retainer is provided for a disc brake for a commercial vehicle. A pad retaining bracket is supported by pad retaining springs on both sides of a brake disc on a brake pad arranged in a brake caliper. The pad retaining bracket tensions a mounting opening of the brake caliper in the direction of the axis of the brake disc and is maintained at least on one side by a bolt-shaped securing element in a securing eye of the brake caliper. The brake pad retainer is designed such that the securing element is formed from an eccentric bolt having a shaft and at least one eccentric section which is positioned so that it is axially offset with respect the shaft.

Brake pad retainer for a disc brake

A brake pad mounting is provided for a disc brake for a commercial vehicle, having a pad mounting bracket which is supported on pad holding springs of brake pads which are arranged in a brake caliper on both sides of a brake disc. The pad mounting bracket spans a mounting opening of the brake caliper in the axial direction of the brake disc and is held in a fastening socket of the brake caliper at least on one side by way of a securing bolt, is configured in such a way that the securing bolt consists of two individual parts which are connected to one another in a positively locking and/or nonpositive and/or integrally joined manner and, on the end side, have in each case one head which can bear against an associated side surface of the pad mounting bracket.
