Abstract
Arrangement for disc brakes used on motor vehicles, comprising a tappet assembly (,), movable inside the caliper (,) and which, through an axial movement along its longitudinal axis relative to the caliper, can be changed from an active position and a passive position. A regulating device can, through a rotating movement of a tappet extension which is part of the tappet, move an end part of the tappet in an adjustment movement to compensate for changes in the tappet stroke. The tappet comprises a first tappet assembly (,) which is movable axially in the caliper (,) along its longitudinal axis (,) for braking movements, and which is rotatable along its longitudinal axis for adjustment movements. The end part (,) of the tappet (,) is carried by a tappet extension (,) which is non-rotatable relative to the caliper and which is connected to the first tappet assembly, through which rotating movement it performs an axial movement relative to the first tappet assembly.
