ABSTRACT:
A sliding-caliper disc brake is described. To avoid inclined nonuniform tangential wear of the brake pads, each of the two brake shoes is "de-coupled" from the brake caliper and/or from a pressure plate disposed on the actuation-side ("B-side"), of the brake disc. The brake shoes are braced against a brake bracket only on the outgoing side ("A side") of the brake disc, whereas the caliper is braced against the brake bracket only on the incoming side ("E side") of the brake disc. Therefore the caliper counters deformation of the brake and thereby reduces inclined nonuniform tangential wear of the brake pad associated with such deformation.
