  • Patent number: 7461725
    Abstract: A disk brake includes a brake disk with a preferred rotational direction, with a first brake pad with a first center of gravity on a first side of the brake disk, a second brake pad with a second center of gravity on a second side of the brake disk, and a caliper for transmitting the braking forces produced by the second brake pad to the first side of the brake disk. The second center of gravity is offset from the first center of gravity by a predetermined distance in the direction toward the side of the brake disk that trails when the disk is rotating in its preferred direction.

  • Patent number: 7322447
    Abstract: A disc brake has a brake disc and a brake caliper spanning the brake disc. A brake applicator shaft is supported on the brake caliper and arranged transversely to an axis of rotation of the brake disc. The brake applicator shaft has a rotary lever for actuating the brake applicator shaft. An adjusting device provided with a thrust spindle having an end face facing away from the brake disc is provided. The brake applicator shaft transmits upon brake application a brake force through the thrust spindle onto the brake disc. A monitoring device is provided that has a measuring element moveable relative to the brake caliper and resting against the end face of the thrust spindle.

  • Publication number: 20070256900
    Abstract: The invention relates to a disk brake which comprises a brake disk (4), having a preferred running direction (D), a first bake shoe (2), having a first center of gravity (S1) on a first side of the brake disk, a second brake shoe (3), having a second center of gravity (S2) on a second side of the brake disk, and a caliper (1) for transmitting the braking forces produced by the second brake shoe to the first side of the brake disk. A first caliper arm (1.1) is located on the first side of the brake disk, and a second caliper arm (1.2) on the second side of the brake disk. A brake application device (5) has a central axis (N) which is perpendicular to the brake disk and is adapted to force the first brake shoe against the brake disk. The second center of gravity, both in the position of rest and when the brake is actuated, is off-set by a predetermined first path (V) in the direction of a brake disk run-out side corresponding to the preferred running direction of the brake disk.
