Patent ID: 8028810

Claim:
A disk brake having a brake caliper which axially engages a rotatable brake disk along a U-shaped engagement region, said disk brake comprising: a caliper bridge; two caliper limbs positioned on opposing sides of the caliper bridge; at least one actuating device that is mounted in the brake caliper for axially moving at least one brake lining against the rotatable brake disk; wherein the caliper bridge has, in a peripheral direction, at least three substantially axially extending supports including two main supports and one central support which axially project beyond the brake disk for connecting the caliper limbs to the caliper bridge, wherein a window is defined between adjacent supports, bridge limbs arranged on the main supports of the caliper bridge on which the brake lining is supported in the peripheral direction and in a radial direction; an undercut provided on at least one inlet-side bridge limb with respect to the brake lining, which undercut comprises stops for the brake lining to bear against in the peripheral direction, and a supporting means for radially supporting the brake lining, wherein the central support axially projects beyond the brake disk and the brake lining, and a radial wall thickness (D) of the central support is sized such that a radial distance (A) between the central support and a rotational axis of the brake disk is less than an external radius (R) of the brake disk in an axial region of the brake lining.
