Abstract

A multi-disc brake, in particular for a road vehicle, is provided with parallel discs which are arranged at a distance from each other and which are rotationally stable and between which a rotatable disc brake is positioned. The radially extending discs and the brake discs can be pressed against one another during braking, by way of a brake application device, while overcoming a clearance and once the brake is released, the discs are separated from each other thus forming a clearance. For transferring the feed motion during braking, a transmission gearing is connected in a movement-dependent manner to a pivotable brake lever of the brake application device and also actively connected to the brake discs.

Claims16

Dependent claims

A multi-disc brake for a road vehicle, comprising:

plates arranged non-rotatably parallel to and spaced apart from one another;
rotatable brake discs, each one of which is respectively positioned between adjacent ones of the plates, wherein the plates, which extend radially, and the brake discs are pressable against one another during a braking operation, via a brake application device having a pivotable brake lever, while overcoming a release clearance and, are separable from one another to again form a release clearance upon release of the braking operation;
a transmission operatively configured for transmitting a feed motion during the braking operation;
wherein at one end the transmission is operatively coupled in a movement dependent manner to the pivotable brake lever and at the other end to the non-rotatable plates.
