  • Patent number: 9551390
    Abstract: A disc brake for a commercial vehicle is provided. The disc brake includes a brake caliper which engages over a brake disc and is in the form of a sliding caliper, two brake pads which are arranged in the caliper, are movable in opposite directions and each have a pad carrier plate and a friction lining fastened thereon and of which an application-side brake pad is pressable against the brake disc by an application device via at least one brake plunger, and with at least one restoring device with which the brake caliper is returnable after a braking-induced displacement and release of the brake. The restoring device is provided with a friction element which is mounted in the brake pad so as to be displaceable to a limited extent under pressure loading in the axial direction of the brake disc and on which an elastic pressure element held in the brake caliper and/or brake plunger acts.

  • Publication number: 20150068852
    Abstract: A wear adjustment device is provided for the adjusting friction surface wear on a brake pad and a brake disc of a disc brake having a brake application device, preferably with a rotary lever. The wear adjustment device can be coupled on the drive side to the brake application device, and on the output side to a spindle unit. A respective rolling body arrangement is axially arranged on both sides of a drive element, one of which is designed as a roller bearing and one is designed as a ball ramp coupling. A central shaft is coupled to the ball ramp coupling and has an output interface for coupling to the spindle unit. A radial freewheel is coupled to the ball ramp coupling by an overload spring unit and to the central shaft. A directionally-dependent torque device is provided, along with a housing in which the drive element, the rolling body arrangements, the overload spring unit, the radial freewheel, the central shaft and the directionally-dependent torque unit are arranged.
