Disk brake with a spring arrangement

Abstract

The invention relates to a disk brake comprising brake linings (7) which are displaceably received on both sides of a disk brake inside guide sections (6) of said disk brake, and a spring arrangement (10) used as springing for the brake linings (7). Said disk brakes are often used in motor vehicles. In order to improve the springing of the brake linings, the spring arrangement (10) comprises at least one radial spring element (11) for radial bracing of the brake linings (7) in relation to the guide sections (6); at least one axial spring element (22) for axial bracing of the brake linings (7) amongst themselves; in addition to at least one tangential spring element (18) for tangential bracing of the disk brakes (7) in relation to the guide sections (6). The three spring elements (11, 18, 22) act in different spatial dimensions and can be embodied in the form of separate components which are independent of each other.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a disc brake having brake pads which are displaceably received by guide sections of the disc brake on both sides of the brake disc and a spring device for actuating the brake pads Elastic loading. Such disc brakes are commonly used in motor vehicles. Background technique

[0002] From DE 1023446 A1 is known a brake carrier of a floating-caliper disc brake with a brake pad guide spring, wherein the brake pad guide spring is latched on the brake carrier. The brake shoe guide spring extends between the brake carrier and the corresponding brake shoe and thus ensures ease of movement of the brake shoe. At the same time, the brake shoe guide spring has a spring arm in order to tension the brake shoe relative to the brake carrier without rattling. In this case, the spring arm is designed to allow radial mounting of the brake pad and then radial locking of the brake pad to the brake carrier. However, the easy-to-install spring arm ...
