An electromechanically actuated vehicle brake having a hydraulically and/or mechanically actuated piston and at least one spindle-nut-arrangement. The invention further relates to a piston. To prevent unnecessary play, vibration, noises between adjacent components it is proposed that in the area of a coupling between the spindle-nut-arrangement and the piston at least one compensating element be provided, which prevents unwanted component oscillations.

The present invention relates to a spot-type disc brake for automotive vehicles and an associated brake pad with a retaining device for the brake pad ( ) on an actuating means ( ), with the brake pad ( ) being additionally clamped to a pad mounting support. These two functions are assumed by two separate spring means ( ) according to the present invention. A first spring means ( ) clamps the brake pad ( ) axially with respect to the actuating means ( ), especially a brake piston, and a second spring means ( ) ensures the radially rattle-free clamping engagement of the brake pad ( ) with respect to an associated pad mounting support. Both spring means ( ) are active irrespective of each other so that undesirable transverse forces on the actuating means ( ), i.e., vertically to the axial direction ( ), are avoided.
