The invention relates to a disk brake for vehicles, comprising a brake disk (20) which can be permanently connected to a hub (14), a brake caliper (30) which overlaps the brake disk (20) on opposite sides, at least one first brake pad (64a) which moves in the direction of the brake disk (20) in relation to the brake caliper (30) and at least one second brake pad (64b) which is arranged on the brake caliper (30) in such a way that it cannot be displaced. The aim of the invention is to provide a brake disk of this type whose brake pads (64a, 64b) do not touch the brake disk (20) in their non-active state. To this end, the brake caliper (30) is arranged in a defined geometrical, fixed position in relation to the hub (14) so that when the disk brake is inactive, the brake caliper (30) is positioned in such a way in relation to the brake disk (20) that a gap (S) exists between the brake pads (64a, 64b) and the brake disk (20) and so that when the disk brake is activated, the first brake pad (64a) acts upon the brake disk (20) in such a way that an outer ring (26) of the brake disk (20) which is impinged upon by the first brake pad (64a) moves in the direction of the second brake pad (64b), the brake disk (20) being elastically deformed, and comes to rest on said second brake pad (64b).
