A brake caliper housing, in particular for a spot-type disc brake of an automotive vehicle, comprises at least two housing parts (188, 190) which having already been machined, are welded together. As shown, the housing parts are caliper limbs (28, 36) with e.g. welding seem (198) or (196) at right angles or parallel to longitudinal axis of housing. In alternative embodiments, a guide bolt is welded in a bore in a brake caliper (Fig. 6), a cylinder cover is welded in a cylinder bore (Figures 9-14); a pressure plate is welded to a radial housing part (Figure 15). Welding may be electron-beam or laser. Materials of the housing parts are indicated e.g. cast iron, steel, aluminium. <IMAGE> |
