Abstract
A floating caliper brake is shown including a first metal section fastened non-positively to a guiding element and is-arranged in a recess so that, in a first position, a first section of the first metal section rests in an axial direction, with positive engagement, against a first section of a wall, which defines the recess, on a first side of a limiting element, wherein, in a second position, in which the first metal section and the first section of the wall are arranged at a distance from one another in the axial direction, a first elastomer section is deformed elastically such that a spring force acts on the first metal section-in an axial direction and towards the first section of the wall, and wherein, when the spring force is equal to or greater than a predetermined non-positive engagement force threshold, the non-positive connection between the first metal section and the guiding element is cancelled, resulting in that the first metal section moves relative to the guiding element in the axial direction, and when the spring force is less than the predetermined non-positive engagement force threshold, the non-positive connection between the first metal section and the guiding element is re-established.
