Abstract
A disc brake, in particular for a commercial vehicle, including a brake caliper, which reaches over a brake disc and in which brake pads are positioned that can be pressed against the brake disc on both sides by means of at least one brake application device and that each have a lining carrier plate and a friction lining fastened thereto. The brake application device has at least one brake piston that acts on the lining carrier plate at the end face of the brake piston. The disc brake is designed such that at least one of the brake pads is supported in an articulated, preferably pivotable, manner in the radial direction of the brake disc.
Claims15
A disc brake having a brake disc, the disc brake comprising:
- a caliper adapted to engage over the brake disc;
- brake pads arranged in the caliper, each brake pad comprising a lining carrier plate and a friction lining fastened thereon;
- a brake application device configured to cause the brake pads to be pressed against the brake disc, the brake application device comprising a brake piston configured to engage at an end face on the lining carrier plate of one of the brake pads;
- and
- wherein at least one of the brake pads is mounted in an articulated manner relative to a radial direction of the brake disc.
A commercial vehicle disc brake, comprising:
- a brake caliper that, in use, engages over a brake disc;
- first and second brake pads arranged in the caliper so as to be selectively pressed against respective sides of the brake disc via a brake application device, wherein each brake pad comprises a lining carrier plate and a friction lining material fastened thereon, the friction lining material of each brake pad being arranged adjacent to a respective friction surface of the brake disc,
- at least one of the first and second brake pads being pivotably mounted so as to adapt to the surface of the brake disc when the brake disc undergoes umbrella action.
A brake pad for a disc brake, comprising:
- a friction lining material;
- a lining carrier plate to which the friction lining material is fastened on one side thereof;
- and
- wherein the lining carrier plate comprises at least one recess having a curved base on a side of the lining carrier plate opposite that of the friction lining material.
