Abstract:
An electromechanical brake (10) for motor vehicles, comprising a selflocking-free spindle (19) that is electromotively moved bidirectionally in a longitudinal direction in order to press at least one brake lining (12.2) against a rotating friction element (13) in an advancing stroke and in order to release the brake lining (12.2) in a restoring stroke, a coupling member (44) disposed between the spindle (19) and the brake lining (12.2), the coupling member (44) engages the spindle (19) and is supported against the brake lining (12.2) so that the brake lining slides lateral to the longitudinal axis of the spindle, the coupling member (44) is embodied as plate-shaped and that toward the lining, the coupling member (44) is provided with a slide coating (49) and toward the spindle, the coupling member is provided with a bearing seat (47) for the spindle (19), which is embodied as ball-shaped on an end toward said bearing seat.
