Abstract:
1. Spot-type disc brake with a housing comprising: a housing bridge, with at least one housing leg having an actuating assembly comprising an actuator unit and a component for moving at least one brake shoe along an axis of movement with respect to a disc brake, wherein the brake shoe is arranged at the component and is slidably supported on at least one support, with a hold-down spring that generates a preloading force F wherein a bearing surface of the hold-down spring is arranged non-parallel to the axis of movement, such that the hold-down spring biases the brake shoe along the axis of movement and away from the disc brake; wherein an angle α between the abutment surface and the axis of movement is greater than roughly 1.5°, and the angle α lies in a plane defined by the axis of movement and by a force vector of the resulting spring force F
