Abstract

In a method for producing a brake carrier for a disc brake of a vehicle braking system, wherein the brake carrier has at least one guiding shaft for guiding a brake lining in a guiding direction in relation to a receiving region for a brake disc, first a brake carrier blank is produced in a casting step and then the brake carrier blank is reworked. In the casting step, the brake carrier blank forms two converging tapers, facing the receiving region, in the region in which the guiding shaft is formed and, during the reworking, material is removed in the region of the tapers to produce the at least one guiding shaft, with the effect that the receiving region for the brake disc has a predetermined clear width transversely in relation to the guiding direction.

Dependent claims

A method for manufacturing a brake carrier for a disc brake of a vehicle brake system, wherein the brake carrier has at least one guiding recess for guiding a brake pad in a guiding direction relative to a receiving region for a brake disc, wherein the method comprises the steps:

manufacturing a brake carrier blank in a casting step, and
finishing the brake carrier blank by a single machining step which removes material for producing the at least one guiding recess,
wherein the brake carrier blank is formed in the casting step, in a region in which the at least one guiding recess is formed, with two converging shaped chamfers facing the receiving region, and that during the single machining step which removes material for producing the at least one guiding recess material is also removed from the shaped chamfers such that the receiving region for the brake disc has a predetermined clear width.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
