Abstract
The invention relates to a disc brake, especially for a utility vehicle, said disc brake comprising a caliper which is provided with a brake disc able to interact with brake linings and is fixed to a brake anchor plate in such a way that it can be axially displaced in relation to the brake disc. To this end, guiding struts on which the caliper is guided are fixed to the brake anchor plate, each guiding strut being enveloped by bellows fixed on both sides, in the region formed between the caliper and the brake anchor plate. The inventive disc brake is embodied in such a way that the peripheral head regions of the folds of the bellows facing the guiding strut have a peripheral contour deviating from the circumference of the guiding strut.
