Abstract:
1. A disc brake having a brake caliper that straddles an internally-ventilated brake disc with brake pads having friction linings pressable against respective spaced apart friction rings of the brake disc, the disc brake comprising: a housing operatively configured to cover entire friction surface faces of the friction rings of the brake disc outside regions where the friction linings of the brake pads overlap with the friction rings of the brake disc, the housing being; stationarily arranged with respect to the caliper, open at an outer circumference of the brake disc in a region away from the brake caliper and between the friction rings through which the brake disc is internally-ventilated, and configured at a radially-outward edge and at a radially-inward edge of each friction ring to form a non-contact labyrinth gap seal arranged to exclude debris from surrounding environment air from entering a gap volume between the housing and the friction surface faces; a suction device operatively connected to the housing; and a dust removal device operatively arranged between the housing and the suction device.
