Abstract
A brake caliper (1) for a disc brake has a tensioning side (2) and a rim side (3) and bears a brake cylinder flange face (4), which, for receiving a brake cylinder, is disposed on the tensioning side (2). Two sliding bushes (5, 6) for an axial displacement of the brake caliper (1) are disposed on a brake support, and two flange faces (8, 8a) are disposed axially parallel to each other on the tensioning side (2) between the sliding bushes (5, 6) for receiving a sensor resetting unit (9).

A brake caliper (1) for a disc brake, having a tensioning side (2) and a rim side (3), comprising:
- a brake cylinder flange face (4), which, for receiving a brake cylinder, is disposed on the tensioning side (2);
- a first sliding bush (5) and a second sliding bush (6) for an axial displacement of the brake caliper (1) disposed on a brake support;
- a first flange face (8) and a second flange face (8a), which, for receiving a sensor resetting unit (9), are disposed axially parallel to each other on the tensioning side (2) between the first sliding bush (5) and the second sliding bush (6),
- wherein the brake caliper (1) has at least one of a first rib and a second rib, the first rib (10) being disposed on the tensioning side (2) between the first sliding bush (5) and the first flange face (8), in a direction radially opposed to the brake cylinder flange face (4), and the second rib being disposed between the second sliding bush (5) and the first flange face, in a further direction radially opposed to the brake cylinder flange face (4).
A brake caliper (1) for a disc brake, having a tensioning side (2) and a rim side (3), comprising:
- a brake cylinder mounting face (4) disposed on the tensioning side (2);
- a first sliding bush (5) and a second sliding bush (6) for an axial displacement of the brake caliper (1) disposed on a brake support;
- a first flange face (8) and a second flange face (8a) disposed axially parallel to each other on the tensioning side (2) between the first sliding bush (5) and the second sliding bush (6),
- wherein the brake caliper (1) includes a first rib (10) and a second rib (10a), the first rib (10) being disposed on the tensioning side (2) and extending radially between the first sliding bush (5) and the first flange face (8) and radially away from the brake cylinder mounting face (4), and the second rib (10a) extending radially between the second sliding bush (5) and the first flange face (8) and radially away from the brake cylinder mounting face (4);
- wherein the first rib (10) and the second rib (10a) are generally parallel to the first flange face (8) and the second flange face (8a).
