Patent ID: 7331427

Claim:
A disc brake comprising: a caliper; two brake shoes, which are pressable against both sides of a brake disc and which in relation to a peripheral force generated upon application of the brake shoes against the brake disc are supported against a vehicle-fixed carrier, wherein the peripheral force in dependence upon a direction of rotation of the brake disc acts in one of two opposite peripheral force directions; at least one device for at least one of measuring and converting the peripheral force, the device being disposed in a force transmission chain between at least one of the brake shoes and the carrier; and at least one force transmission member, which is disposed between at least one of the brake shoes and the device for at least one of measuring and converting the peripheral force; and a guide for guiding movement of the at least one force transmission member, the guide being rigidly attached to the carrier at a run-out side of the disc brake; wherein the at least one force transmission member is movable relative to the carrier under guidance in a plane parallel to the brake disc such that a transverse force introduced into the force transmission member by the brake shoe is substantially not transmitted to the device for at least one of measuring and converting the peripheral force, and wherein the at least one force transmission member is disposed at one side relative to the caliper in order to take up and transmit the generated peripheral force in only one of the two peripheral force directions.
