A brake carrier for a disc brake of a commercial vehicle has an attachment region for fixing on a vehicle axis and at least one pad shaft for receiving and supporting at least one brake pad. The pad shaft is formed by way of an inlet-side carrier horn, an outlet-side carrier horn and a bridge which connects the inlet-side carrier horn and the outlet-side carrier horn. Regions of the bridge which adjoin the carrier horns form bearing surfaces for radially supporting the at least one brake pad. The respective guide contours for guiding the brake pad into a push-in position are arranged to the side of the pad shaft on a side surface of the carrier horns, in which push-in position the brake pad can be pushed axially with respect to the vehicle axle into the pad shaft between the carrier horns.

The aim of the invention is to ensure a reliable lift of both brake pads of a floating-caliper brake (1) after releasing the brake. This is achieved in that a lifting part (20) is hinged to the brake caliper (2) at a hinge point (21), and the lifting part (20) is supported on the support structure (7) at a contact point (23) at least partly at releasing the floating-caliper brake (1), wherein a lift drive (22) is provided which rotates the lifting part (20) about the hinge point (21) such that a support for the lifting part (20) is produced on the contact point (23), whereby the hinge point (21) and the brake caliper (2) are moved.

A disc brake guide assembly having a guide bush, a closure, and a stop. The guide bush may be mountable in a through bore of a support. The closure may be a barrier to the ingress of foreign matter into the through bore. The stop may restrict axial displacement of the guide bush.

A brake apparatus for a vehicle may include: a pair of pin members installed in a caliper body so as to be spaced apart from each other; a first brake pad movably coupled to the pair of pin members, and contactable with a brake disk; a second brake pad coupled to the pair of pin members so as to be spaced apart from the first brake pad, and contactable with the brake disk; a pressing part installed in the caliper body, and pressing the first brake pad to bring the first and second brake pads into contact with the brake disk; and a pad liner installed on the pair of pin members, and providing an elastic restoring force to the first and second brake pads such that the first and second brake pads are restored to the original state when the pressing of the pressing part is released.

A disc brake for commercial vehicle includes a brake caliper and brake pads for clamping the brake disc. The brake caliper has a first inside space with an opening on a side facing the brake disc for receiving a clamping device, and the brake caliper has a second inside space for receiving the brake disc. The brake caliper and brake pads have advantages in terms of installation space and is lightweight and reduces production costs. The brake caliper includes clamping-side lugs and reaction-side lugs. The lugs on each side define a channel for receiving the brake pads for each side. The brake pads include supporting surfaces and bearing surfaces on their perimeter that correspond to the arrangement of the lugs. The lugs on the clamping side define an L-shape. The axial length of supporting surfaces of the clamping side brake pad is shorter than that of the clamping-side lugs.

A caliper guide assembly having a guide pin, a guide bore, a cap, and a sensor arrangement. The guide bore is arranged to receive the guide pin. The cap may be secured to an open end of the guide bore proximate a free end of the guide pin. The sensor arrangement may include a first sensor component that is configured to provide an output indicative of relative axial displacement between a first sensor component and a second sensor component.

A guide assembly for a disc brake, a disc brake, and a method of mounting. The guide assembly may include a guide pin, a receiving portion, and a weld. The receiving portion may receive a mounting portion of the guide pin. The weld may secure the mounting portion and the receiving portion.

A mounting for a guide pin of a disc brake and method of mounting. A mounting portion of a guide pin may have a first polygonal cross-sectional profile. A receiving portion of a brake carrier may receive the mounting portion and may have cross-sectional profile that is different than the first polygonal cross-sectional profile.

A guide assembly for a disc brake and a method of arrangement. The guide assembly includes a guide pin and a sliding bore that receives the guide pin. A first face mating interface of the sliding bore may define a first sliding interface between the guide pin and the bore.

A guide assembly for a disc brake and method of mounting. The guide assembly may have a guide pin that includes a mounting portion and a guiding portion. A retaining bore of a brake carrier may receive the guide pin and retain the mounting portion. The guiding portion may protrude from an inboard-side of the brake carrier and may slidably support a brake caliper.
