Abstract:
Adjuster for a friction brake (1), comprising an elongated fastener means (24) with a first end (27) and a second end (29), said fastener means (24) being arranged in a bore (38) in a brake piston (7), which is displaceable relative to a brake housing (2) surrounding the friction brake (1) to a braking position and to a retracted position, the brake piston (7) being displaceable to the retracted position by means of a spring member (22), characterized in:that a tube (36) is interference-fitted in the bore (38) in the brake piston (7),that the tube (36) is displaceable relative to the brake piston (7),that the fastener means (24) is joined at its first end (27) to the brake housing (2),that the fastener means (24) at its second end (29) has a first abutment (32),that the tube (36) has a second abutment (42),that the spring member (22) abuts against the first and second abutments (32,42),that the spring force of the spring member (22) acts to move the first and second abutments (32,42) away from each other,that the tube (36) has a first end surface (39) and a second end surface (41),that the first end surface (39) is intended, in the braking position, to abut against the first abutment (32), andthat the second end surface (41) is intended, in the retracted position, to abut against the brake housing (2).
