Abstract: A disc brake, especially for motor vehicles, which preferably has two pressure discs which by means of antifriction or sliding bodies arranged in recesses provided with inclined or crowned surfaces rest against each other. When turning the pressure discs in counter-current direction with regard to each other, the anti-friction or sliding bodies move onto the surfaces of the recesses, spread apart the pressure discs against the thrust of return springs, and press the brake discs, which are axially displaceable on a shaft to be braked, against associated braking surfaces. The pressure discs are guided in a housing by means of at least three guiding elements distributed over the circumference of the housing. Each pressure disc has associated therewith an abutment for limiting the turning movement of the pressure discs. The guiding members, which respectively resist a tilting of the pressure discs about the pertaining abutments, are radially adjustable.
