According to the invention, the channel (16) is configured to receive two signal cables (40?, 40?).

Abstract: A brake caliper for a vehicle disc brake including a pair of brake pads, and brake a disc positioned in between the brake pads is provided. The brake caliper includes a thrust piece that is configured to move at least one of the brake pads relative to the brake disc, an adjuster unit in threaded engagement with the thrust piece, and a spring unit operatively coupled to the adjuster unit and the thrust piece. The spring unit has a latching element and the adjuster unit has a corresponding latching interface, wherein the latching element is arranged to engage the latching interface when the adjuster unit is in threaded engagement with the thrust piece, and the spring unit further has a mounting element in engagement with the thrust piece to provide a resistance against a rotational movement the adjuster unit relative to the thrust piece.

Abstract: An adjustment device for a disc brake is operable for adjusting brake pads to compensate wear. The adjustment device includes a guide sleeve in which a wrap spring is arranged a groove ring surrounding the guide sleeve and coupled to a closure cap via a torsion spring, and an opening ring surrounding the groove ring.

Abstract: A system for mounting a signal cable to a disc brake includes a cover plate, an actuator opening in a region of the cover plate configured to allow passage of an actuation device, and a signal cable fixation member (80) for mounting the signal cable to the cover plate, the signal cable fixation member (80) including an attachment part (82) and a signal cable guiding part (84). The attachment part (82) engages with the cover plate and the signal cable guiding part (84) guides the signal cable towards a side edge of the cover plate. A connecting part (86) between the attachment part (82) and the signal cable guiding part (84) spaces apart a signal cable guide axis A of the signal cable guiding part (84) from an engagement axis B of the attachment part (82) by an offset d.

Abstract: An adjuster unit (100) for a vehicle disc brake (1), in particular an air disc brake (1) of a commercial vehicle, includes an adjustment spindle (101) adapted to be operatively coupled with one of the brake pads (9) such that by rotation in a first direction, the adjustment spindle (101) moves the brake pad (9) towards the disc (11). By rotation in a second direction opposite of the first direction, the adjustment spindle (101) moves the brake pad away from the disc (11). An actuator ring assembly (107) is rotatable about the adjustment spindle (101); and a wrap spring (109) is helically wound around the adjustment spindle (101).
