Patent ID: 7182181

Claim:
A disc brake comprising a fixed brake disc, at least one first brake pad disposed on a first side of the brake disc, at least one second brake pad disposed on a second side of the brake disc opposite the first side, an actuator, and a clamping device, which clamping device comprises first force transmitting means transmitting force to the at least one first brake pad, second force transmitting means transmitting force to the at least one second brake pad and intermediate parts acting between the actuator and the force transmitting means, wherein the clamping device is received fixed in a mechanism housing; wherein the disc brake further comprises a brake pad support; wherein the mechanism housing and brake pad support are axially fixed in relation to the brake disc and wherein at least part of each of the first force transmitting means, the second force transmitting means and the intermediate parts of the clamping device, and the actuator, are disposed on the first side of the brake disc, characterized in that the actuator acts by the intermediate parts on the force transmitting means and that the force transmitting means are screw units, which screw units are acting in a pulling or pushing direction on the at least one brake pad on each respective side of the brake disc, and characterized in that pushing screw units are acting on the brake pads placed on the same side of the brake disc as the brake mechanism, while pulling screw units act on the brake pads placed on the opposite side of the brake disc; and that the pulling screw units are connected to a pull beam.
