ABSTRACT:
Suspension arrangement for actuation and abrasion dependent movable parts, especially brake pad holders (1) and non-rigid brake saddles, particularly of rail vehicle disk brakes having an abrasion compensation device, comprises a suspension bracket (7) which, on the one hand, is rigidly connected to the movable part (brake pad holder 1) or a fixed holding part, and which, on the other hand, is held at the respective other part by means of a sliding guide mechanism (8) extending parallel to the direction of motion and being self-locking under stress by a tilting moment of the suspension bracket (7) which is resiliently deformable in the direction of motion. The sliding guide mechanism (8) may be a bushing (9) displaceably held on a bolt (10), the length of the bushing (9) approximately corresponding to the diameter of the bolt (10). The suspension bracket (7) may be a leaf spring. Between a brake jaw lever (12) and the brake pad holder (1) a double ball and socket joint (11) may be provided, having two single ball and socket joints (14) arranged in the longitudinal direction of the suspension bracket (7) and in staggered relation to each other. The suspension arrangement assures efficient guidance of the moveable part, preventing oblique abrasion and providing automatic adjustment relative to the brake disk (2). It has an economical and space-saving design.
