Abstract

The mechanical actuating device for a disc brake has an automatic adjusting device to compensate for wear of the brake pads. The actuating device enables an easy resetting of the adjusting device for brake pad replacement and has a compact construction of all parts. The adjusting spindle extends axially through the actuating device and a clutch secures the adjusting spindle against rotation when the adjusting nut is turned to compensate for wear of the brake pads. To reset the adjusting device for brake pad replacement, the adjusting spindle is turned back by a turning tool.
