A brake caliper for a disk brake, in particular for motorcycles and/or bicycles, includes a housing (30) in which a disk space (39) for receiving a brake disk and a brake cylinder (35) for receiving a brake piston (25) are formed. The brake cylinder (35) is connected to the disk space (39) and has, on its side opposite to the disk space (39), an assembly opening (50) through which the brake piston (25) can be inserted into the brake cylinder (35). A closure element (10) closes the assembly opening (50) after the insertion of the brake piston (25) into the brake cylinder (35). A securing element (21) secures the closure element (10) in the assembly opening (50) against forces in the direction of the main axis of the brake cylinder (35).
A brake caliper for a disk-brake comprising a one-part housing including a disk space for receiving a brake disk, with the one-part housing further including first and second shafts for receiving brake linings intersecting with the disk space, wherein each of the first and second shafts comprises first and second contact surfaces against which the brake linings rest on during braking for absorption of braking forces, with the first contact surfaces of the first and second shafts corresponding and against which the brake linings rest during rotation of the brake disk in a first direction, with the second contact surfaces of the first and second shafts corresponding and against which the brake linings rest during rotation of the brake disk opposite to the first direction, with the second contact surface of the first shaft and the first contact surface of the second shaft being intermediate the first contact surface of the first shaft and the second contact surface of the second shaft, wherein the housing is a forged part, wherein the one-part housing further includes a partition in each of the first and second shafts, with the partitions extending obliquely between the first and second contact surfaces of the first and second shafts.
