Abstract
A continuous automatic adjustment device for a mechanically actuated sliding saddle disk brake (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) wherein the mechanically actuated device for moving the sliding saddle (1) vis-a-vis the brake disk (6) includes a diagonal-track spreading device (10, 11, 12) around an actuating shaft (7). The adjustment device has an adjustment nut (14) coupled with the actuating shaft (7) by a directional clutch (33) which operates in the direction of actuation when actuating shaft (7) turns and is formed by a wrap spring (33) or a freewheeling sleeve (34, 35). A force-dependent coupler (30) can be axially released from the action of a compression spring (23) when a given torque is exceeded by the actuation shaft, thereby preventing rotation from being transmitted to the adjustment nut.
