Patent ID: 7484601

Claim:
An electromechanical self-boosting disk brake, comprising an electromechanical actuating device ( 44 ), with which a friction brake lining ( 28 , 30 ) can be pressed for braking against a brake disk ( 20 ), a mechanical self boosting device, which converts a frictional force, exerted in braking by the rotating brake disk on the friction brake lining pressed against it, into a contact pressure that presses the friction brake lining against the brake disk, a frame caliper ( 12 ), the frame caliper ( 12 ) having two brake lining holders ( 14 , 16 ), between which the brake disk ( 20 ) is located, and two tie rods ( 18 ), which connect the two brake lining holders ( 14 , 16 ) outside the brake disk ( 20 ), friction brake linings ( 28 , 30 ) disposed on sides of the brake lining holders ( 14 , 16 ) oriented toward the brake disk ( 20 ); and means for mounting one of the brake lining holders displaceably along the tie rods ( 18 ), so that a spacing of the brake lining holders ( 14 , 16 ) from one another can be varied, wherein the frame caliper ( 12 ) is displaceable transversely to the brake disk ( 20 ), and wherein the frame caliper ( 12 ) comprises a slide bearing ( 32 , 34 ), with which it is guided displaceably transversely to the brake disk ( 20 ); and wherein the slide bearing ( 32 , 34 ) is disposed approximately in the same imaginary plane as the brake disk ( 20 ).
