Parking brake for a motor vehicle

Abstract

A parking brake for a motor vehicle comprises a disk packet (12) on an axle body in a brake housing (1) with at least one brake disk, one spring (8), by way of which the closure of the brake is effected by compression of the disk packet and a piston (7), superimposed on the spring. A compression space (6) of which piston can be subjected to hydraulic pressure for releasing the parking brake counter to the engaging force of the spring. The force of the piston is transferred by at least one pressure pin (4) onto a pressure transmission element (2). The element communicates with the disk packet and the pressure pin is located within the pressure space of the piston such that no connection exists between the pressure pin and an axle space (11) such that leakage of hydraulic fluid out of the compression space into the axle space is prevented.
