  • Patent number: 10670091
    Abstract: A disc brake includes a brake caliper that engages over a brake disc, the caliper having a central opening over the brake disc. The disc brake has two brake pads which are located in the brake caliper, can be moved in opposite directions and each of which has a pad backing plate with a friction lining secured thereon. An action-side or application-side brake pad of the two brake pads can be pressed against the brake disc by a brake application device with the aid of at least one brake plunger. The brake also has at least one restoring device, by which the brake caliper can be returned. The restoring device has a spreading device which engages on the brake pads lying opposite one another and which acts with an identical force in opposition to the respective application direction. The spreading device has spring-loaded spreading elements, each engaging on its respective pad backing plate.

  • Patent number: 10626940
    Abstract: A disc brake, preferably actuated by compressed air, for a motor vehicle, has a brake caliper which has a brake application section with a brake application device with a rotary brake lever, at least one wear adjusting device for adjusting wear of brake pads, and a brake disc with a synchronization unit which includes an adjusting device, a drive device and a synchronizer. The adjusting device and the drive unit are inserted in each case into a threaded plunger of a spindle unit and are attached by way of a mounting arrangement on a bearing wall of the brake application section of the brake caliper. The synchronization unit is installed with the adjusting device and the drive device as a preassembled group into the brake application section of the brake caliper, wherein the synchronizer is arranged in the region of the mounting arrangements on the bearing wall within the brake application section. A method for installing a synchronization unit is provided.

  • Publication number: 20180003249
    Abstract: A disc brake for a utility vehicle is provided. The brake caliper of the disk brake is configured to be mounted in an axially-displaceable manner on a stationary brake carrier by two fastening elements. The two fastening elements are plain bearings arranged in respective bores of the brake caliper, one as a locating bearing and the other as a floating bearing. The floating bearing includes a sliding bush made from a plastic, in particular an elastomer, and a guide rod configured to be connected to the brake carrier is mounted. The sliding bush is held on the guide rod secured against axial displacement between the guide rod and the inner wall of the respective brake caliper bore. The sliding bush is configured to carry a lubricant on its circumferentially outer surface and has sealing lips projects radially outward that bear against the inner wall of the respective bore.
