Abstract

A disc brake for a utility vehicle includes a brake caliper, designed as a sliding caliper and engaging over a brake disc, which is secured to a stationary brake carrier. Two brake pads, which are arranged in the brake caliper, can move inversely and have a respective pad carrier plate and a friction lining secured thereon, of which an action-side or application-side brake pad can be pressed against the brake disc by an application device via at least one brake piston. The brake pads are each accommodated in a pad housing of the stationary brake carrier, wherein the pad housing is formed by two opposing brake carrier horns and a longitudinal connector connecting the brake carrier horns. At least one of the brake pads is assigned a pad return device, with which the at least one brake pad can be returned after a brake-dependent shifting and releasing of the brake.
