Abstract
The aim of the invention is to ensure a reliable lift of both brake pads of a floating-caliper brake (1) after releasing the brake. This is achieved in that a lifting part (20) is hinged to the brake caliper (2) at a hinge point (21), and the lifting part (20) is supported on the support structure (7) at a contact point (23) at least partly at releasing the floating-caliper brake (1), wherein a lift drive (22) is provided which rotates the lifting part (20) about the hinge point (21) such that a support for the lifting part (20) is produced on the contact point (23), whereby the hinge point (21) and the brake caliper (2) are moved.
Claims8
A floating-caliper brake, comprising a brake caliper floatingly mounted on a support structure of the floating-caliper brake, on which brake caliper a first brake pad and a pressing device are arranged, wherein a second brake pad being arranged on the pressing device and the pressing device moving the second brake pad toward the first brake pad in order to actuate the floating-caliper brake and moving the second brake pad away from the first brake pad in order to release the floating-caliper brake, wherein a lifting part is hinged to the brake caliper at a hinge point, and the lifting part is supported on the support structure at a contact point at least partly at releasing the floating-caliper brake, wherein a lift drive is provided which rotates the lifting part about the hinge point such that a support for the lifting part is produced at the contact point, whereby the hinge point and the brake caliper are moved.
