Abstract

A rail vehicle disc brake arrangement includes a yoke (1) with a brake cylinder (11) and a slack adjuster (16). In order to obtain advantages as regards design, function and space requirements the yoke (1) comprises two telescoping yoke parts: a fixed part (4) and a movable part (5). The slack adjuster (16) is arranged to act between these two parts. The brake cylinder (11) on the movable yoke part is connected to a yoke lever (6), which is pivotally attached to the movable part, has a pad holder (8) with a brake pad (9), and controls the slack adjuster (16).
