Abstract:
1. A self-boosting electromechanically actuable disc brake, comprising: an axially fixed component; a caliper moveable relative to the axially fixed component; at least one application-side and one reaction-side brake pad; a brake disc straddled by the caliper; an electromechanical drive and a brake application device for applying the brake pads, the brake application device having a self-boosting device; at least one wear adjusting device for adjusting for wear of at least one of the brake pads and the brake disc; wherein the self-boosting device comprises a component stationarily arranged during braking processes but being moveable parallel to a rotational axis of the brake disc during wear adjusting movements, said component being coupled to or part of the wear adjusting device; and wherein said component is held, with a small degree of play, parallel to the rotational axis of the brake disc between guide surfaces of the axially fixed component such that, during the braking processes, tangential forces which occur are supported directly by the component on the axially fixed component of the disc brake.
