Patent ID: 7513339

Claim:
A mechanically actuated disk brake for a utility vehicle, comprising: a brake application device for applying the brake; a brake caliper which reaches over an axially fixed brake disk, is fastenable to an axle part and is designed as a fixed caliper which, during brake application movements, moves a reaction-side brake lining against the brake disk via elastic deformation; a pivoting lever of the brake application device which is supported on one side on the brake caliper and which acts on another side on a brake piston, via which the application-side brake lining is pressable onto the brake disk; adjusting devices arranged in the brake caliper for compensating for wear of at least one of the brake lining and brake disk, each brake lining being assigned at least one adjusting device; and a supporting part provided in the region of the pivoting lever, forming, during a brake application movement of the pivoting lever, an abutment for the pivoting lever after a predefined stroke of the brake piston, between a pressure region of the brake lining on the pivoting lever and a support of the pivoting lever on the brake caliper.
