Disc brake with tensioning system esp. for utility vehicles has turning lever with apertures for bearing shells/bearing elements to hold lever on caliper

摘要

The brake has a caliper (1) overlapping the brake disc (3) and an actuating device for the brake linings (5,7). The actuating device has a turning lever (19) pref. operated by a piston rod. The lever has an aperture at one end to accommodate one end of the piston rod, and two further apertures in the outsides of the other end. Cap-shaped bearing shells and/or spherical bearing elements for the lever are fitted into the apertures, to hold the lever on the caliper and on at least one pressure piece to move the brake lining towards the brake disc.
