The invention relates to a disk brake for a commercial vehicle, having a brake calliper (1) which takes the form of a sliding calliper, comprises a brake disk (3) and in which brake pads (5, 4) are arranged on the actuation side and on the reaction side and can be pressed against both sides of the brake disk (3) by means of an actuation device (8) during braking. The reaction-side brake pad (4) is supported on a rear-side wall (2) of the brake calliper (1) by a pad carrier plate (6) carrying a friction pad (7), and a gap is formed in a non-operational position in a region facing an assembly opening (11) of the brake calliper (1) between the rear-side wall (2) of the brake calliper (1) and the reaction-side brake pad (4), said gap being wider than the adjacent region and the length of said gap corresponding at least to the length (L) of the contact surface of the wall (2) on the pad carrier plate (6) when applied, the disk brake being disposed in such a manner that the gap is formed by at least one recess (9) of the pad carrier plate (6), said recess being integrated into the planar rear side (12) running parallel to the side (13) carrying the friction pad (7), the recess (9) running at a distance from the edges of the pad carrier plate (6) that delimit the longitudinal sides. |
