ABSTRACT:
An actuating apparatus is provided for use in a disc brake. The disc brake includes a brake piston slidably accommodated in a brake cylinder. A mechanically actuatable brake lever is non-rotatably coupled to an actuating shaft. The actuating shaft is rotatably accommodated in a bore in a brake cylinder housing. A thrust member is positioned between the actuating shaft and the piston or a further actuating element. A spring preloads the brake lever in the direction of rotation toward a final position. To create an actuating apparatus easy to set-up and mount, the spring also urges the actuating shaft in an axial direction against a stop or a support.
