Abstract: A brake lining retention device for a disc brake of a motor vehicle. The brake lining retention device includes a brake carrier fixed at the vehicle side and having a lining shaft for receiving a brake lining, wherein the lining shaft is delimited at the brake disc leading side in relation to a main rotation direction of the brake disc and delimited at the brake disc trailing side by a lining horn-like member of the brake carrier. The brake lining retention device includes a brake lining guided in the lining shaft and has a lining retention member and a friction lining fixed thereto, and a resilient element supported on a lining horn-like member and a support face of the lining retention member, wherein the face is adjacent to the lining horn-like member and the resilient element is inserted in a recess of the lining retention member.

Abstract: A disc brake for a commercial vehicle has a caliper that straddles a brake disc. The caliper is mounted on a brake carrier on the vehicle side by way of two connecting bearings in an axially displaceable manner in relation to the brake disc. The connecting bearings each include a guide bar that is securely connected to the brake carrier and guided in a slide bearing of the caliper for the axial displacement thereof. At least one connecting bearing is provided with a radially elastic damping bushing, which at least surrounds the guide bar in regions and has grooves that are laterally delimited by ribs. The disc brake is designed such that the damping bushing has a progressive damping behavior in the radial loading direction.

Abstract: A brake disc for a vehicle has a wear indicator disposed in a braking surface of the brake disc and embodied such that its appearance in a top view of the braking surface changes across a reducing level of wear. The brake disc further has a reference indicator disposed in the braking surface of the brake disc and is embodied such that its appearance in a top view of the braking surface does not change across the reducing level of wear or changes differently in a specified manner relative to the change in the wear indicator so that wear progression can be discerned from the appearance of the wear indicator in relation to the appearance of the reference indicator.

Abstract: A brake lining apparatus for a disc brake, including a brake lining holder and a brake lining applied on an application face of the brake lining holder. The brake lining is distinguished by the fact that a frictional face which is con-figured by way of the lining upper side of the brake lining is at most 75% of the size of the application face of the brake lining holder. This increases the surface pressure of the brake lining, with the result that it experiences a load even in the case of very low actuating forces, in order thus to prevent a permanent premature loss of the coefficient of friction of the brake linings, in particular in the case of vehicles with a hybrid drive.

Abstract: A wear adjustor is provided for adjusting the wear of brake pads and a brake disc of a pneumatic disc brake having a brake application device actuated by a rotary lever. The wear adjustor is preferably inserted into an adjusting spindle of the brake application device. An axial bearing is formed axially on a side of a drive ring, and a ball ramp coupling with a freewheel function is formed axially on the opposite side of the drive ring. The ball ramp coupling has balls and a drive socket which is arranged axially, on the drive side, between the axial bearing and the balls thereof, a cone clutch being arranged between the clutch ring on the output side and an elastic sleeve for a cylinder spring. The cone clutch has the output-side clutch ring and a cone socket connected to the elastic sleeve, and clamping balls are arranged between the output-side clutch ring and the cone socket.

Abstract: A wear adjustor adjusts the wear of brake pads and a brake disc of a pneumatic disc brake having a rotary lever brake application device. The wear adjustor is insertable into an adjusting spindle and attached to a caliper of the disc brake by a bearing disc. An axial bearing is formed axially on a side of a drive ring, and a ball ramp coupling with a freewheel function is formed axially on the opposite side of the drive ring. The ball ramp coupling includes balls and a drive socket which is arranged axially, on the drive side, between the axial bearing and the balls thereof, a cone coupling being arranged between the coupling ring on the output side and an elastic sleeve for a cylinder spring. The output-side coupling ring is designed for a working rotational angle defined by at least one fixed abutment.

Abstract: A method is provided for fixing an adjustment device on a disc brake, particularly a pneumatically actuated disc brake. The adjustment device is inserted in a previously adjusted idle position into an adjusting spindle of the disc brake, wherein a coupling of a shift fork of the adjustment device is carried out with a rotating lever of the disc brake, and a centering is carried out by a bearing disc of the adjustment device in a receptacle of a brake caliper. The adjustment device is positioned by twisting the same. The adjustment device is secured on the disc brake by locking the bearing disc on the brake caliper by a locking element.

Abstract: A wear adjustor is provided for adjusting the wear of brake pads and the brake disc of a pneumatically operated disc brake having a brake application device that can be actuated via a rotary lever. The wear adjustor is able to be inserted into an adjusting spindle of the brake application device. The wear adjustor includes a clutch ring for coupling to a spring sleeve that is in engagement with the adjusting spindle. A blocking device is disposed between the adjusting spindle and the wear adjustor. The blocking device forms a stop for the adjusting spindle in the tangential direction relative to the rotating direction.

Abstract: A disc brake, particularly for a commercial vehicle, includes a brake caliper, which is provided with a brake disc and fixed to a brake carrier by two fastening elements such that it can be axially displaced in relation to the brake disc. The fastening elements each include a guide spar, which is connected to the brake carrier in a fixed manner. For the axial displacement of the brake caliper, one of the guide spars is guided in a plain bearing designed as a movable bearing and the other in a plain bearing designed as fixed bearing such that the guide spar of the fixed bearing includes an elastically deformable section in the radial direction on the outer circumference. The associated bearing rests against the deformable section at least in some sections.
