Claim:
1. A brake, comprising: a base part; a braking piece movably supported on the base part, which braking piece is configured to be moved between a braking position where the braking piece contacts a braking surface and a releasing position where the braking piece is spaced from the braking surface; a spring, with the spring force applied to the braking piece and applied in a direction towards the braking surface; a counterforce element which is activated to resist said spring force; a movable support member for limiting an initial position of a drop-out movement of the braking piece, where said initial position is the position of the braking piece when the counterforce element is deactivated and the drop-out movement is the movement of the braking piece into the braking position upon the deactivation of the counterforce element; and a controllable actuator, which is mechanically connected to the support member and configured to displace the braking piece between the braking position and the releasing position, wherein the counterforce element is hinged, such that deactivation of the counterforce element causes a buckling of the counterforce element.
