Abstract:
1. A brake lining for a disc brake for commercial vehicles, comprising: a pressure plate and a lining material mounted on the pressure plate; and at least one return device, which axially returns the brake lining after braking operations, provided on the pressure plate, which return device rests in a lining groove of the disc brake and carries out a tilting movement in the lining groove when braking operation occurs; wherein the return device includes a return element movable within a recess in the pressure plate and a tensioning device which acts in a tangential direction via a tensioning spring which, when the brake is not applied, preloads the pressure plate elastically in the tangential direction relative to a brake disc toward the lining groove so that the return device rests tangentially on the lining groove in a preloaded state; and wherein the tensioning spring rests between the return element and the pressure plate.
