A centering mechanism with a brake piston of a disk brake of a motor vehicle, with a spindle extending into a cavity in the brake piston, has dimensions that prevent a force equilibrium of a nut-spindle assembly moved completely out of the vertical position. A force vector of the gravitational force on the nut-spindle assembly extends within a contact surface between a nut and the brake piston. Thus, the brake piston can be easily assembled with the nut-spindle assembly.

A threaded spindle module includes a threaded spindle which extends along a longitudinal axis and has an external thread at an output-side end and, offset with respect to the external thread, a drive-side end with a peg for rotationally fixed coupling to an actuator interface, and with a threaded nut which is screwed onto the external thread, and a joint-like curved support point of the threaded nut is provided as a pivot joint of the threaded spindle module, with a pivot joint center relative to an associated receiver.

A combined vehicle brake which has a hydraulically actuable service brake and an electromechanically actuable parking brake device, a hydraulic service pressure space being delimited in a brake housing by a brake piston which can be acted upon by hydraulic pressure medium in order to execute service braking operations, so that the brake piston can be actuated along a piston longitudinal axis in order to achieve a braking action, and the parking brake device acting on the brake piston by a gear, in that the gear converts the rotational movement of an electromechanical actuator into a translational movement and causes an actuation of the brake piston in order to execute parking braking operations and holds the said brake piston in the actuated position, the gear having a threaded spindle and a threaded nut which are in contact with one another via a plurality of rolling bodies.
