Patent ID: 7992420

Claim:
A method for the production of a housing of a brake caliper for a disk brake comprising a plurality of shafts for receiving brake linings, wherein each shaft includes at least one contact surface against which the brake linings rest on during braking for absorption of braking forces, comprising: a) using first and second forging dies wherein contours of the first and second forging dies define the housing to be produced; b) introducing material into the first forging die; c) forging the material in the first and second forging dies, with forging the material including defining partitions in the plurality of shafts of the housing, in which excess material remains during forging, d) demolding the housing by removing the first and second forging dies in a take-off direction; and e) removing the excess material of the partitions, wherein the partitions in the shafts are located obliquely to the take-off direction of at least one of the first and second forging dies, and wherein the partitions are formed outside the contact surfaces for the brake linings.
