ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for adjusting the play between the brake linings and the brake disc of a pneumatically actuated disc brake by way of at least one or several adjustment devices actuated by electric motors. The method sensorlessly determines the play caused by braking with the aid of a computer by use of a computer prognosis, wherein the prognosis includes wear caused by braking and the brake component variations in time produced by energy released by the braking, and the thus determined variations are adjusted at predetermined time intervals on at least one adjustment device by a corresponding adjustment process.
