Abstract
The invention illustrates a caliper body () for a disc brake, suitable for being arranged astride of a disc () for a disc brake, said disc () defining a first braking surface () and a second braking surface () opposite the first braking surface (); said caliper body () comprising a first half-caliper () and a second half-caliper (), which are obtained by casting without machining and are suitable for being connected together at respective contact surfaces () defining a joining plane (P) of the half-calipers; said first half-caliper () comprising a wheel-side elongated portion (), extending in a tangential direction, which is suitable for facing an axially inner surface thereof towards the first braking surface (), and at least one first projecting portion (), projecting in an axial direction provided with a first contact surface () suitable for connecting with the second half-caliper (); said second half-caliper () comprising a vehicle-side elongated portion (), extending in a tangential direction, which is suitable for facing an axially inner surface towards the second braking surface (), an attachment portion () suitable for being connected to a support for the caliper and at least one second projecting portion (), projecting in an axial direction provided with a second contact surface (″) suitable for connecting with the first half-caliper (); the first projecting portion () and the second projecting portion () being suitable for being connected together at the respective contact surfaces (″) so as to form at least one bridge astride of the disc (); each of said first projecting portion () and said second projecting portion () being provided with a radially inner surface (″) suitable for facing the disc () that forms an angle α of between 90° and 92° with the respective contact surface (″); in which the first projecting portion () extends farther in the axial direction with respect to the second projecting portion () so that said half-caliper joining plane (P) is axially closer to the vehicle-side elongated portion () with respect to the wheel-side elongated portion ().
