Abstract

A disc brake for a vehicle, particularly for a commercial vehicle, includes a brake caliper which straddles a brake disc and in which an application device is arranged, a single-piece rotary lever which has an eccentric element, and at least one brake plunger which is designed as a power screw arrangement having a rotational axis and with which, when the rotary lever is actuated, at least one brake pad can be pressed against the brake disc. The rotary lever is arranged in the brake caliper such that it can pivot relative thereto, and is supported directly or by way of one or more elements connected therebetween, on said brake caliper, in at least one support region. The rotary lever, which can pivot relative to the brake plunger, has at least one convexly-formed section on the side thereof that lies opposite the support point on the brake caliper, and this section lies against a matching concave end face in the axial extension of the rotational axis of said power screw arrangement.
