Abstract
A friction lining warning device for a pin-guided spot-type disc brake whose caliper housing, brake carrier is slidingly arranged at a pin. A stud which engages an opening of the pin and is arranged in alignment with the pin. A switch housing surrounds the pin and is connected to the caliper housing, to the brake carrier, the pin and the stud and is movable relative to the switch housing and to the caliper housing. Electric switches in the stud, in the switch housing release when the stud has travelled a predetermined distance relative to the switch housing. The switch housing and the stud can be brought in abutment with each other to provide a basic adjustment. The switch housing is connectable to the caliper housing, brake carrier within a range of tolerance after the basic adjustment has been assumed. The stud (19, 61, 62, 91, 101, 102, 121, 141, 190, 201) is provided with a stop (29, 105) which abuts against the pin (4) in the axial direction.
