Provided is a disk brake improved in production efficiency by simplifying a structure for retaining the braking force of a parking brake. A disk brake is equipped with a piston holding mechanism having a ball-and-ramp mechanism in which balls are moved by rotation transmitted from a motor, causing a rotary-rectilinear ramp to press a piston. The rotary-rectilinear ramp has an external thread engaged with an internal thread formed on a base nut immovable in a rotor axis direction relative to a caliper body. The external thread, when a force is applied thereto from the piston in the rotor axis direction, can retain the position of the rotary-rectilinear ramp in the rotor axis direction. Thus, the structure for retaining the braking force of the parking brake can be simplified to improve the production efficiency. |
