Abstract

A disc brake for utility vehicles includes a brake disc, a brake caliper spanning the brake disc, a brake carrier, and an application-side brake pad and a reaction-side brake pad, of which at least the application-side brake lining is accommodated in a lining slot of the brake carrier. The brake caliper houses a brake application device having a single pressure plunger arranged to exert a brake application force on the application-side brake lining via a pressure plate. The brake is configured with one or both of an operative plane of the pressure plate being offset in the direction of the exit side at a distance from a plane of symmetry of the disc brake, and a bevel on the exit side of at least the application-side brake lining.
