Abstract: A mechanical wear gauge for detecting a brake liner wear and a brake disc wear of a disc brake for vehicles, in particular for utility vehicles, includes a brake liner wear detection mechanism and a brake disc wear detection mechanism. Brake liners and brake discs are subjected to a wear so that the brake liner thickness and the brake disc thickness decrease with an increasing period of use. A base member includes an arm member having a pincer leg. A first sliding member having a pincer leg is slidable relative to the base member and arm member to detect brake disc wear. A second sliding member, extending parallel to the first sliding member, is slidable relative to the base member to detect brake liner wear.

Abstract: A brake application device (1) for a disc brake (2) of commercial vehicles comprising an actuating spindle (3) with, axially of the actuating spindle (3), a pressure plate (4) arranged on the actuating spindle (3), and the pressure plate (4) having an annular groove (6) radially for receiving a boot (5). A heat shield (7) is at least partially disposed between the pressure plate head (4a) and the boot (5) at a spacing (X). An insulating layer (8) may be present between the heat shield (7) and the pressure plate head (4a). The heat shield (7) may be a metal ring (10) encapsulated in or coated with an elastomer (9a). The heat shield (7) may alternatively be formed of plastic or silicone.

Abstract: A cover panel (1) for a disc brake (2) for covering an installation opening (5) of the disc brake (2), wherein the disc brake (2) comprises a brake carrier (13) and a brake caliper (3) sliding on the brake carrier (13) axially in the direction of an application side (Z) or axially in the direction of a rim side (F).
