DISC BRAKE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE AND BRAKE PAD ASSEMBLY THEREFOR

摘要

A disc brake for a motor vehicle includes a spring arrangement mounted on at least one mounting tongue of a brake pad carrier. The spring arrangement provides a predetermined spring travel, which is dimensioned such that a movement of the brake pad carrier for actuating the brake is permitted without brake pad wear compensation and such that when using up the predetermined spring travel the brake pad arrangement contacts the spring arrangement for brake pad wear compensation and moves the latter within a brake pad arrangement guide in order to compensate brake pad wear.
