ABSTRACT:
In order to provide a disk brake for vehicles, comprising a brake disk securely connectable to a hub, a brake caliper engaging over the brake disk on oppositely located sides, at least one first brake lining movable in the direction of the brake disk in relation to the brake caliper and at least one second brake lining arranged on the brake caliper so as to be non-displaceable, with which the brake linings do not touch the brake disk in the non-actuated state, it is suggested that the brake caliper be arranged so as to be fixed in a defined geometrical correlation to the hub, that the brake caliper be positioned in relation to the brake disk when the disk brake is not actuated such that a gap exists between the brake linings and the brake disk, and that when the disk brake is actuated the first brake lining act on the brake disk in such a manner that an outer ring of the brake disk acted upon by the first brake lining moves in the direction of the second brake lining under elastic deformation of the brake disk and abuts on the second brake lining.
