Abstract
A sliding caliper disc brake for a motor vehicle having a disc, a carrier (,), a caliper (,) and pads (,). The carrier (,), respectively, provides bearing surfaces (,) for the caliper (,) and pads (,) having a non-zero angle (Ab) which opposes rotational movement between the caliper (,) and pads (,) when the disc turns in a direct sense (D). Thus, a resistance to a braking torque generated during braking is dampened by a shear force developed between the caliper (,) and pads (,).
