<p>A disc brake caliper including a brake piston movably arranged therein. The brake piston is sealed in relation to the brake cylinder by a sealing ring, which is arranged in a circumferential annular groove of the brake cylinder. The sealing ring functions to retract the brake piston in the brake cylinder after a braking operation in order to provide a clearance between a brake shoe and a brake disc. According to the present invention, the annular groove includes a recess, which is arranged in the area of transition between a groove wall and the cylinder surface . The contour line, which defines the cross-section of the recess, starting from the groove wall of the annular groove, passes from a convexly curved portion over into a concavely curved portion. This permits ensuring an unchangingly constant clearance between the brake shoe and the brake disc roughly irrespective of the hydraulic pressure.</p> |
