Abstract
A disk brake for a utility vehicle is provided. A brake caliper of the disk brake includes a receiving chamber configured to receive a brake application device with a pivotable brake lever. The brake lever is supported at one end on a bridge supporting at least one brake piston and at the other end on a wall of the brake caliper forming a caliper head. A pivot bearing is provided for supporting the brake lever on the caliper head or the bridge. The pivot bearing includes a receptacle having a circular-arc-shaped cross-section and has a pivoting body configured to be located in the receptacle. The brake lever is retained in such a way that the brake lever is secured against displacement transversely to the pivoting direction of the brake lever by at least one securing element arranged in the region of the pivoting body extending axially on both sides of the securing element. The securing element protrudes radially in relation to the pivoting body at least in some regions and engages in a slot of the caliper head or of the bridge having a circular arc shape in the pivoting direction of the brake lever.
