A method for manufacturing a disc brake, the disc brake having a brake caliper and a brake actuation mechanism being supported in it, in which the brake actuation mechanism includes an amplification mechanism for introducing a clamping force, an adjustment device for compensation of lining wear with a torque clutch, a thrust element for transmitting the clamping force onto a brake disc and a reset device, which components are arranged around a rod, in which the torque clutch is formed as a roller-ramp-mechanism. A spring force can act onto the torque clutch by means of the reset device thereby forming a torque limit.

An assembly has two pads having a support plate and a friction material coating, each pad being accommodated in a pocket of a caliper and positionable on a side of a brake disc. At least one spring applies an elastic bias on the pads so as to elastically bias the pads away from the brake disc. The support plate has a plate coupling portion having an inner lower edge, facing the brake disc in a radially inward direction or towards the rotation axis, an inner upper edge, facing the brake disc in a radially outward direction or opposite to the rotation axis, the inner upper edge continuing on a direct upper surface according to the axial direction (A-A), forming an upper spring-coupling plate portion edge. The spring is always in contact exclusively with the inner lower edge and the upper spring-coupling plate portion edge.

An electric disc brake is disclosed. An electric disc brake comprises a caliper housing configured to include a cylinder at which a piston is installed to be reciprocally movable by a brake hydraulic pressure, an adjuster arranged inside the piston, a pushrod provided inside the cylinder, an actuator configured to decelerate a rotational force according to an activation of a motor to output the decelerated rotational force through an output gear so as to pressurize the piston, and a ramp unit installed inside the cylinder and configured to receive the decelerated rotational force from the actuator to pressurize the pushrod to the piston so as to prevent rotation of the pushrod.

An electric parking brake includes a driving shaft, an actuator, first and second braking members, and first and second linings. The driving shaft has a threaded portion threadedly engaging the first braking member such that, through operation of the actuator, the first lining is driven by the first braking member to move toward a side surface of a brake disk in a direction to thereby move the second braking member to move toward an opposite side surface of the brake disk in an opposite direction, so that the first and second linings are moved toward each other to clamp the brake disk therebetween.

Protruding portions protruding in a direction of approaching a disc rotor are integrally formed in a locking plate portion of a pad spring. Moreover, an insulating resin coating is formed on a front surface side (surface in a region opposed to an outer peripheral surface of the disc rotor) of the locking plate portion. The coating film formed on the front surface of the locking plate portion flows downward by its own weight before the coating material is solidified. As a result, the coating film formed on bottom surfaces (front surfaces of protrusions) of the protruding portions is thinner in film thickness than that of the coating film in other region.
