Abstract
A brake caliper has a caliper bridge and two legs that are arranged at right angles to the caliper bridge. A housing having a bore for a brake piston is mounted on one leg. The caliper bridge has at least one hollow chamber inside, which is delimited on all sides by supporting walls. Even though the brake caliper exhibits considerable flectional strength it is lightweight.
