Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005078306A1] The invention concerns a disc brake with floating caliper for a vehicle, said brake developing high horsepower. The invention aims at providing a floating caliper disc brake having high rigidity and heat resistance while having a reduced weight. Therefor, the inventive disc brake comprises a floating caliper (1, 41) forming a housing above the brake disc (2) and above the friction pads (3, 4) arranged on either side of the disc (2), said floating caliper being mounted mobile on a fixed component (15) of the vehicle by means of guide bolts (14, 57). The floating caliper (1, 41) in the form of a housing consists of inner caliper section (5, 45), provided with at least one actuating device (12, 52), and of an outer caliper section (6, 46) coupled with the inner caliper section (5, 45) by at least two housing sections (7, 47) located above the brake disc (2). The invention is characterized in that the caliper sections (5, 6, 45, 46) have a lightweight construction of the high-rigidity lattice type.
