Abstract
The invention relates to a disc brake () having two brake shoes (), which for generating a clamping force (A, A') are pressable against both sides of a brake disc (), and having an actuator device () for actuating at least one of the brake shoes (). The disc brake () has a detection device, which detects the coming-into-abutment of at least one of the brake shoes () against the brake disc () and during the coming-into-abutment adopts a characteristic state. This discrete state may be a switching state electrically evaluable for open- or closed-loop control purposes and may be used for open- or closed-loop control of a brake system comprising the disc brake ().
