摘要:
A disk brake for utility vehicles, having a brake disk (32) with a preferred direction of rotation (D) during forward travel, having a brake carrier (9) which engages around the brake disk (32), having a brake caliper (2) which engages around the brake disk, having a fastening-side brake pad (25) with a friction material (27) which, during braking operations, is supported in a circumferential direction against a fastening-side region (10) of the brake carrier (9) at the brake disk exit side, wherein a fastening-side line of gravity (B) runs in an axial direction of the brake through the center of gravity of the friction material (27) of said fastening-side brake pad, having a brake-application device on one side of the brake disk (32), which brake-application device has a pressure-exerting device (31) and, during braking, pushes the fastening-side brake pad (25) against the brake disk (32), wherein the pressure-exerting device (31) has a central axis (A), which lies in the axial direction of the brake, and having a wheel-rim-side brake pad (28) with friction material (30) which, during braking operations, is supported in the circumferential direction against a wheel-rim-side region (11) of the brake carrier (9) at the brake disk exit side, wherein a wheel-rim-side line of gravity (C) runs in the axial direction of the brake through the center of gravity of the friction material (30) of said wheel-rim-side brake pad, wherein the fastening-side line of gravity (B) is, in the rest state of the brake, arranged with a predetermined first offset (A-B) to the central axis (A) in the direction of the entry side of the brake disk (32) in the preferred direction of rotation (D), and the wheel-rim-side line of gravity (C) is arranged either with a predetermined second offset to the central axis (A) in the direction of the entry side of the brake disk (32) in the preferred direction of rotation (D), said second offset being unequal to the first offset (A-B), or with a third offset (A-C) to the central axis (A) in the direction of the exit side of the brake disk (32) in the preferred direction of rotation (D).
