A wheel brake device, which in particular is actuatable electromechanically, for a motor vehicle, includes a pivotable lever, one end of which is engaged by an energy-storing spring element and which with its other end presses against a wheel brake lining. The lever is pivotably supported by a support means that is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the lever. By displacement of the support means in the longitudinal direction of the lever, a lever arm with which the energy-storing spring element engages the lever lengthens, and a lever arm with which the lever presses against the wheel brake lining shortens. A pressure force with which the energy-storing spring element, via the lever, presses the wheel brake lining against a brake disk can be adjusted by displacement of the support means. |
