  • Patent number: 10670097
    Abstract: A disk brake includes a brake disk, a brake caliper, at least one application device lying within the brake caliper on one side of the brake disk, an axially movable device configured to move a brake pad axially toward the brake disk by way of at least one actuating spindle when the brake is actuated, and an adjustment mechanism configured to rotate the actuating spindle because of a rotational coupling acting in the direction of rotation. The adjustment mechanism comprises a thread device, which, at least in the case of rotation in a second direction of rotation opposite a direction of rotation, is configured to mesh with an external thread of the actuating spindle and is configured to screw the adjustment mechanism in relation to the actuating spindle.

  • Patent number: 10221908
    Abstract: A disk brake includes a brake disk, a brake caliper, at least one application device lying within the brake caliper on one side of the brake disk, an axially movable device configured to move a brake pad axially toward the brake disk, and an adjustment mechanism configured to be rotated about an rotation axis lying parallel to a rotation axis of the brake disk and which, in the case of rotation in a first direction of rotation bringing about adjustment, is configured to rotate the actuating spindle. The adjustment mechanism includes a thread device which, at least in a rotation in a second direction of rotation opposite the first direction of rotation, is configured to mesh with the external thread of the actuating spindle and to screw the adjustment mechanism in relation to the actuating spindle.

  • Patent number: 9835215
    Abstract: A disc brake, in particular for commercial vehicles, has an adjustment device for compensating for brake lining/brake disc wear. The adjustment device is arranged at least partially inside an interior space of the brake caliper and has an adjustment gear with an adjustment nut having an internal thread, and an adjustment spindle screwed therein with an external thread. For adjustment during normal operation of the brake, the adjustment nut is rotated in relation to the adjustment spindle, which is fixed against rotation. A first sealing device at least partially seals off an annular space on the brake disc side between the inner wall of a through-opening in the brake caliper and the axially adjustable adjustment spindle, which extends through the through-opening and toward one of the brake linings, wherein the first sealing device is held on the caliper at one end.
