An apparatus for thermal insulation on an actuating apparatus, which can be loaded with a pressure medium, of a disk brake having a piston which slides in a cylinder for the axial displacement of the brake linings against a brake disk, in particular a partially lined disk brake having an insulation body made from non-thermally conducting/poorly thermally conducting material for the insulation of the components of the actuating apparatus with respect to a brake lining. It is possible for a substantially circularly annular, metallic brake lining to be inserted into an insulation body which is made from ceramic material and separates the piston from the brake lining in a thermally insulating manner. The insulation body is configured with side faces which adjoin the circularly annular brake contact face so as to run toward the annular circumferential face in a convexly rounded manner in the direction of the piston.
