Abstract: A disk brake mechanism is described, comprising one of a pneumatic and electromechanical actuator having a brake piston, a brake application device for actuating the disk brake mechanism, and a fixed-type brake caliper attached to an axle, for moving a reaction-side brake lining against a brake disk during application. The mechanism also includes a pivoting lever of the brake application device, operatively connected to the brake piston for pressing an application-side brake lining during application, the pivoting lever being supported on one side on the brake caliper, and a supporting part forming, after a predefined stroke portion of an application stroke of the brake piston, an abutment for the pivoting lever between a pressure region of the application-side brake lining on the pivoting lever, and a support of the pivoting lever on the brake caliper.

Abstract: A disc brake for vehicles, in particular to a pneumatically actuated disc brake for utility vehicles, is provided. The disc brake includes a brake caliper and an application device for applying the brake. The application device has a first component in the form of a rotary lever, which is displaceably guided on a second element, such as a surface of the brake caliper, by way of a needle bearing. The disc brake is characterized in that the inner ring of the needle bearing is embodied as a bearing cage made of plastic, the cage enclosing on its outside an evenly configured ring of sheet metal serving as the bearing exterior.
