DISK BRAKE COMPRISING A SLIDING OR HINGED CALIPER

摘要

The invention relates to a disk brake, particularly for a utility vehicle, comprising a hinged caliper (1) which overlaps a brake disk (3), a tightening device (13) arranged in the hinged caliper for tightening the brake linings (5, 7) on each side of the brake disk (3) in the direction thereof, in addition to at least one adjusting system disposed in the hinged caliper. The invention is characterised by the production of a reaction force on the side of the brake opposite the tightened side by displacing the brake caliper (1) and/or pivoting the brake caliper (1) and/or displacing the brake disk (3), whereby the path of the force lift or working lift can be substantially and exclusively bridged by the displacing and/or pivoting movement.
