Abstract
A disc brake including a brake actuation mechanism and an adjustment mechanism, which is configured to provide, in addition to a reduction of the clearance between a brake pad and a brake disc during brake application, a further increase of the clearance during brake release motion with a value, which may be smaller, equal or larger than the previous clearance reduction. The brake actuation mechanism for that purpose could provide a different regulator unit. Moreover, the invention suggests a method for adjusting the clearance between a brake pad and a brake disc providing a clearance increase during brake release motion, accordingly.
