A caliper for disc brake comprising a caliper body housing at least one pair of pads disposed on opposite sides along an axial direction and comprising at least one thrust piston which interfaces with the pad so as to press it against the associable brake disc, and at least one return spring that exerts a return thrust on the support plate of the pad. The return spring comprises a fixing portion to the caliper body that extends from axially opposite sides in separate thrust branches, each thrust branch interfacing with a support plate of a related pad. Each thrust branch comprises a first rectilinear portion that extends towards the corresponding pad, a curved portion, integral with the first rectilinear portion and folded in approach to the fixing portion, a second rectilinear portion that extends from the curved portion in approach to the fixing portion. The second rectilinear portion terminates with a free cantilevered end and interfaces with an edge of the support plate.

A brake pad for a disk brake of a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes a backing plate, to which a plurality of friction units is fastened, each using a securing element supported on the rear side of the backing plate facing away from the friction unit, wherein each friction unit has, on the side of the backing plate facing away from the securing element, a friction element, which is mounted for tilting by means of a spherical-portion-shaped attachment and under the load of a spring supported on the backing plate, is designed in such a way that an annular disk is arranged between the spring and the friction element, at least some regions of said disk lying against the spring and the friction element.

A farm implement is provided having a frame and first and second track assemblies. The first track assembly has a first track frame, a first idler wheel, and a first brake assembly. The first idler wheel has an inboard side facing toward and an outboard side facing away from a center the first track frame. The first brake assembly has a first disc coupled to the first idler wheel on the outboard side of the first idler wheel, a first caliper couplable to first and second sides of the first disc, and a first torque arm coupled to the first track frame and a spindle of the first idler wheel. The first caliper is mounted on the first torque arm, and is configured to clamp down on the first and second sides of the first disc in order to slow and/or stop rotation of the first idler wheel.

A brake device for a vehicle with at least one wheel, wherein the wheel defines a rotational axis, with a brake body device for the transmission of a brake force to the wheel, with a concentric brake cylinder for the generation of the brake force. The brake cylinder has an inner housing part for radial support on a wheel axle of the wheel and an outer housing part for axial support on the brake body device. The two housing parts can be moved relative to one another, and a pressure chamber which runs around the rotational axis is formed between the two housing parts. The brake device has an insulation device for the thermal insulation of the brake body device in the direction of the brake cylinder. The insulation device is arranged at least axially between the outer housing part and the brake body device.
