Pneumatically or electromechanically actuated disk brake for utility vehicles

A pneumatically or electromechanically actuated disc brake for utility vehicles, comprising:

• a brake disc configured to rotate about an axis of rotation in a preferred direction of rotation;
• a brake carrier, including:
• a rim-side region disposed, in an axial direction parallel to the axis of rotation, on an outer side of the brake disc, and
• a fastening-side region disposed, in the axial direction, on an inner side of the brake disc;
• a brake caliper;
• a fastening-side brake pad including a fastening-side back plate and a fastening-side friction material, wherein the fastening-side brake pad is supported on the fastening-side region of the brake carrier, and wherein a fastening-side line of gravity passes through a center of gravity of the friction material of the fastening-side brake pad in the axial direction;
• a rim-side brake pad including a rim-side back plate and a rim-side friction material, wherein the rim-side brake pad is supported on the rim-side region of the brake carrier, and wherein a rim-side line of gravity passes through a center of gravity of the friction material of the rim-side brake pad in the axial direction;
• and
• an application device disposed on the inner side of the brake disc, wherein the application device includes a pressure-exerting device configured to press the fastening-side brake pad against the brake disc during braking, and wherein the pressure-exerting device has a central axis parallel to the axial direction,
• wherein a first support device is formed on the rim-side region of the brake carrier and configured to support the rim-side brake pad on the brake disc exit side,
• wherein a second support device is formed on an fastening-side region of the brake carrier and configured to support the fastening-side brake pad on the disc exit side during braking,
• wherein the fastening-side line of gravity, in the rest state of the brake, is arranged with a predetermined first transverse offset with respect to the central axis, the transverse direction being defined as extending perpendicular to the axial direction and parallel to the preferred direction of rotation,
• wherein the fastening-side back plate is transversely offset with respect to the rim-side back plate,
• wherein the rim-side line of gravity is arranged with:
• a predetermined second transverse offset with respect to the central axis in the direction of the entry side of the brake disc, the second offset being unequal to the first offset, or
• a predetermined third transverse offset with respect to the central axis, and
• wherein the first support device is offset by a fourth offset with respect to the second support device.
