Abstract
A caliper body for a brake caliper for a disc brake, arranged straddling a disc, has a first elongated portion configured to face a first braking surface of the disc by interposing at least one first brake pad, a second elongated portion, opposite the first elongated portion and configured to face a second braking surface of the disc by interposing at least one second brake pad. A caliper bridge connects the first and second elongated portions. At least either the first or second elongated portion has a thrust device housing receiving at least one portion of a thrust device, configured to apply a thrust action on at least one brake pad to abut the at least one brake pad against a braking surface of the disc. A first annular housing radially opens into the thrust device housing and receives an elastic retraction element that applies a retracting action on the thrust device.
