The invention relates to a wheel brake device (10), which in particular is actuatable electromechanically, for a motor vehicle. The invention proposes embodying the wheel brake device (10) with a pivotable lever (22), one end of which is engaged by an energy-storing spring element (26) and which with its other end presses against a wheel brake lining (18). According to the invention, the lever (22) is pivotably supported by a support means (32, 34) that is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the lever. By displacement of the support means (32, 34) in the longitudinal direction of the lever (22), a lever arm with which the energy-storing spring element (26) engages the lever (22) lengthens, and a lever arm with which the lever (22) presses against the wheel brake lining (18) shortens. By displacement of the support means (32, 34), a pressure force with which the energy-storing spring element (26), via the lever (22), presses the wheel brake lining (18) against a brake disk (14) can be adjusted. |
