Abstract

The invention relates to braking devices for the wheels of a motor vehicle which can be rotated around axle pins, provided with a brake caliper attachment comprising an axle-sided carrier, which can be fixed to the axle of the vehicle, and a brake-sided carrier, which can be detachably fixed thereon by means of screws, in order to receive the caliper of the brake. Axial and/or radial bearing surfaces of the axle-sided carrier or brake-sided carrier may be located on the same axial or radial plane and/or are respectively located on parallel planes which are offset in relation. The axial and/or radial bearing surfaces may be inclined on one side relative to the axial or radial plane oriented in an inner or outer direction and/or the axial and/or radial bearing surfaces may be in the form of a prism and the carriers on the bearing surfaces thereof are coupled by screws.

Claims8

Dependent claims

A braking device for wheels of a motor vehicle rotatable about vehicle axle spindles, the braking device comprising:

a brake caliper securement mechanism having an axle-side carrier securable on a vehicle axle and a brake-side carrier operable coupled to the axle-side carrier;
wherein the axle-side carrier and the brake-side carrier are configured to be supported on one another by axial contact faces disposed on both the axle-side carrier and the brake-side carrier and oriented in a longitudinal axle direction, as well as also radial contact faces disposed on both the axle-side carrier and the brake-side carrier and oriented in a transverse axle direction, such that the axial contact faces absorb force components acting on the braking device in the longitudinal axle direction, and the radial contact faces absorb force components acting on the braking device in a circumferential axle direction occurring during driving and braking operation;
the axial contact faces of the axle-side carrier and the brake-side carrier being located substantially in a same axial plane;
and
the radial contact faces of the axle-side carrier and the brake-side carrier being located substantially in a same radial plane.
