DISK BRAKE WITH A REGULATING SYSTEM DRIVEN BY AN ELECTRIC MOTOR, AND METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a disk brake, particularly for commercial vehicles, comprising a brake caliper (1) covering a brake disk (3), a tensing device (13) arranged in a brake caliper for tensing the brake pads (5, 7) on both sides of the brake disk (3) in the direction thereof, and at least one regulating system arranged in the brake caliper in order to equalise the brake pad and/or disk deterioration by adjusting the distance between the brake pad (7) and the brake disk (3).The invention is characterised in that at least one or more adjusting rotational devices which are driven by an electric motor are provided on each side of the brake disk (3) to adjust the axial distances between the brake pads (5, 7) and the brake disk (3). According to a method for controlling the regulating system of the brake disk, the regulating rotational device is individually controlled on both sides of the brake disk.
