    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromechanically actuatable disk brake (10). To attain brake reinforcement, the invention proposes that a friction brake lining (40) be guided displaceably with a guide (44, 50) whose angle to the brake disk (14) is adjustable. A frictional force exerted by the rotating brake disk (14) on the friction brake lining (40) pressed against it causes a force component in the direction of the guide (44, 50), which when the guide (44, 50) is positioned obliquely creates a pressure force of the friction brake lining (40) against the brake disk (14) and thus a brake reinforcement.
