Abstract: The aim of the invention is to ensure a reliable lift of both brake pads of a floating-caliper brake (1) after releasing the brake. This is achieved in that a lifting part (20) is hinged to the brake caliper (2) at a hinge point (21), and the lifting part (20) is supported on the support structure (7) at a contact point (23) at least partly at releasing the floating-caliper brake (1), wherein a lift drive (22) is provided which rotates the lifting part (20) about the hinge point (21) such that a support for the lifting part (20) is produced on the contact point (23), whereby the hinge point (21) and the brake caliper (2) are moved.

Abstract: In an electrically actuated friction brake (1) with non-linear force-travel characteristic, in which, in order to brake, an actuating part of a pressing device (10) is rotated by means of an actuating device (20) between an initial actuating angle (?A) and a final actuating angle (?E) in order to press a brake lining (6) against a friction surface to produce a braking torque (TB), the effect of the brake lining elasticity, which varies with wear, cannot be ignored. The force-travel characteristic of the friction brake (1) which changes as a result is compensated for in that the initial actuating angle (?A) of the actuating part of the friction brake (1) is adjusted as a function of the current state of wear of the brake lining (6).
