Abstract
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.
