A brake caliper, in particular a sliding caliper, of a disc brake of a commercial vehicle includes a brake application portion, which extends around a holding space for holding at least one brake application device; a caliper back; two tension struts, which run substantially parallel and at a distance to one another and connect the brake application portion to the caliper back; a closure cover, which closes the holding space; and an interface for mounting a pivotable brake lever on the side of the brake application portion facing away from the closure cover. A mounting opening for inserting and removing brake pads is formed between the brake application portion, the caliper back and the tension struts. The ratio of the length of the brake application portion to the sum of the length of the brake application portion and the length of a tension strut is between 0.4 and 0.3.

Brake caliper of a disc brake and disc brake

A disc brake for a commercial vehicle is provided. The disc brake includes a brake caliper, preferably in the form of a sliding caliper, straddling a brake disc, being arranged on a fixed backing plate, and having an application device for applying the brake. The disk brake also includes two brake pads, each having a pad carrier and an affixed friction pad, and each being inserted into a pad shaft of the backing plate. The brake caliper has a central caliper opening over the disc brake. A hold-down bar is provided, designed in such a way that, of the two brake pads, it radially secures only the reaction-side brake pad in its lining shaft in the backing plate. The hold-down bar is held on the brake caliper by its end facing away from the brake pad. Additionally, the application-side brake pad is radially interlockingly secured in its pad shaft in the backing plate. The application-side brake pad has a brake pad spring, which is held on the application-side brake pad and includes ends which rest resiliently on horns of the backing plate.

Disc brake for a commercial vehicle, brake pad, and brake pad set

A disc brake for a utility vehicle, with a brake caliper which overlaps a brake disc, is preferably designed as a sliding caliper, is fastened to a positionally fixed brake carrier and has a central caliper opening above the brake disc, with an application device for applying the brake, and with two brake pads which are insertable through the caliper opening and each have a pad carrier and a friction pad fastened thereto, of which brake pads the one brake pad, as an application-side brake pad, can be pressed against the brake disc on the one side of the brake disc by the application device, and the other, as a reaction-side brake pad, is arranged on the opposite side of the brake disc, is distinguished in that a holding-down clamp is provided which is designed in such a manner that it radially secures only one of the two brake pads in the pad slot.

Disc brake for a utility vehicle, brake pad and brake pad set

A brake caliper of a disc brake includes tie bars which run substantially parallel and at a distance from each other and which interconnect a caliper back and a receiving area of a housing that encloses brake application functional parts. The receiving area has an approximately rectangular assembly opening closable by a closure lid. The assembly opening includes longitudinal sides extending in the direction of the tie bars and narrow sides extending transversely to the long sides. The assembly opening is adjacent to at least one flange which forms an undercut and a wall for the receiving area on one of the narrow sides.

Brake caliper of a disc brake

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 includes a brake caliper, in which two brake pads can be pressed against a brake disc when in operation. A brake pad on the action side is actuatable via a brake plunger of a brake application device. The brake plunger is led through an opening of a closure cover that closes a receiving chamber of the brake caliper. A bellows rests against the brake plunger and, on the other side, against the closure cover to seal the receiving chamber. A secondary seal is retained on the closure cover, which secondary seal is arranged concentrically to the bellows and rests against the brake plunger. The secondary seal is configured to rest slidingly against the brake plunger.

Disc brake

A multiple-piston disc brake includes a brake caliper overlapping brake disc, at least two pressure pistons that are movably arranged in the brake caliper to apply a clamping force to at least one brake pad in the direction of the brake disc, a pressure plate that is coupled to the at least two pressure pistons, and a clamping unit that has a pressure tube and an adjustment device, abridge and a lever. Each of the at least two pressure pistons is mounted in an axially movable manner in a pressure piston guide securely connected to the brake caliper.

Multiple-piston disc brake

A brake caliper of a disk brake for a utility vehicle is provided. The brake caliper includes tension braces which are arranged substantially parallel and at a distance from each other, straddling a brake disk and connecting receptacles for functional parts arranged on both sides of the brake disk. One receptacle forms a caliper back and the other receptacle forms a housing having a lever dome formed thereon. The brake caliper includes at least one replaceable service-related wear protection element fastened to areas of potential wear during in-service use of the brake caliper, such as at the lower side of the leading tension brace and at least partially around the lever dome.

Brake caliper of a disk brake for a utility vehicle

An optimized disc brake includes two fixed mountings and one free mounting, and an assembly space optimized brake carrier and corresponding brake lining for a reaction side of the disc brake are provided.
