Abstract

A partial lining disk brake with floating saddle for vehicles, particularly for motor vehicles, in which the floating saddle is constituted by an essentially plane frame that is arranged with its longitudinal webs secant-like with respect to the brake disk and which receives in one longitudinal web at least one brake cylinder and in another longitudinal web at least one abutment for the brake lining; the floating saddle is displaceably guided at the brake carrier axially parallel to the brake disk whereby the brake carrier is also constructed frame-like and, insofar as it has any supporting function, is arranged exclusively underneath the floating saddle, the floating saddle engages with downwardly extending projections in corresponding guide elements of the brake carrier to assure an accurate guidance thereof.
