Abstract
A disc brake for commercial vehicle includes a brake caliper and brake pads for clamping the brake disc. The brake caliper has a first inside space with an opening on a side facing the brake disc for receiving a clamping device, and the brake caliper has a second inside space for receiving the brake disc. The brake caliper and brake pads have advantages in terms of installation space and is lightweight and reduces production costs. The brake caliper includes clamping-side lugs and reaction-side lugs. The lugs on each side define a channel for receiving the brake pads for each side. The brake pads include supporting surfaces and bearing surfaces on their perimeter that correspond to the arrangement of the lugs. The lugs on the clamping side define an L-shape. The axial length of supporting surfaces of the clamping side brake pad is shorter than that of the clamping-side lugs.
