Abstract

A disc brake for a vehicle, in particular for a commercial vehicle, includes a brake caliper, which extends over a brake disc; a brake application device arranged in the brake caliper for pressing brake pads against the brake disc; at least one brake piston, which can be moved axially by the brake application device; an adjustment device, which is positioned in the brake caliper and which is operatively connected, by a gearing, to the brake piston in order to axially adjust the brake piston in order to compensate a clearance change resulting from wear. The gearing has an input gear, which is retained on the adjustment device for conjoint rotation, and an output gear, which is retained on the brake piston for conjoint rotation. The disc brake is designed such that the output gear connected to the brake piston for conjoint rotation and the input gear of the adjustment device, which input gear corresponds thereto, are arranged in a driver device, which is held in an axially movable but rotationally fixed manner.
