Disk brake for vehicles and method of making same

A disk brake having caliper housings arranged on both sides of a brake disk, in said caliper housings, pistons being disposed which interact with lining devices, each of the lining devices comprising a lining support and a lining body, said lining support interacting with the adjacent piston, whereby concave piston surfaces operatively interact with convex lining support surfaces,

• wherein the brake disk having the concave brake disk surfaces has a multi-part construction,
• wherein the brake disk is provided with a groove recess at least on one of the brake disk surfaces,
• wherein the lining devices comprise lining bodies with a high-performance lining mixture, and
• wherein at least one canceling device is mounted on the caliper, and a damping element is mounted on at least one of the lining devices.

A disk brake for vehicles, comprising:

• a brake disk and a caliper which carries lining devices having lining surfaces, the brake disk having concave brake disk surfaces on sides facing the lining surfaces, said brake disk surfaces interacting with the convexly constructed lining surfaces,
• wherein the disk brake is provided with at least one of
• the lining devices comprising lining bodies with a high-performance lining mixture,
• the brake disk with said concave brake disk surfaces having a multi-part construction,
• the brake disk being provided with a groove recess at least on one of the brake disk surfaces,
• at least one canceling device being provided on the caliper, and at least one damping element being arranged on the lining devices, and
• the brake disk being made of ceramics, gray cast iron or of an alloy of aluminum, gray cast iron or equivalents thereof.

A disk brake for vehicles, comprising:

• a caliper carrying lining devices with convex lining surfaces, and
• a brake disk having concave brake disk surfaces on sides facing the lining surfaces, said brake disk surfaces being arranged to operatively interact with the lining surfaces,
• wherein the brake disk is of multi-part construction and is provided with a groove recess at least on one of the brake disk surfaces, and
• wherein the lining devices comprise lining bodies with a high-performance lining mixture.

A method of making a disk brake for vehicles, comprising:

• providing a caliper which carries lining devices with convex lining surfaces,
• arranging concave brake disk surfaces of a multi-part construction brake disk to face the lining surfaces, said brake disk surfaces being adapted to operatively interact with said lining surfaces, and
• locating a groove recess on at least one of the brake disk surfaces,
• wherein the lining devices comprise lining bodies with a high-performance lining mixture.
