ABSTRACT:
A compressed-air actuated disk brake is disclosed comprising a caliper which reaches around a brake disk and on one side of which an application device is arranged which, when acted upon by compressed air, actuates at least one adjusting spindle adjustably arranged in a traverse, which adjusting spindle, by way of a pressure element disposed on its brake-disk-side end, acts upon the pressure plate of a brake lining which is disposed on the application side in the caliper to be displaceable with respect to the brake disk, an adjusting device, by acting upon the adjusting spindle(s), keeping the ventilating play, which changes because of the wear of the lining, essentially constant. In order to achieve that, while a high efficiency and a low hysteresis is maintained, the weight can be reduced, it is suggested according to the invention to use a fork-shaped pivoting lever in the case of which two legs extend or fork from the end region of its actuating arm, the semicircular pivot bearing as well as the bearing of the eccentric each being formed by corresponding pairs of bearings in the end regions of the legs.
