Abstract
A floating caliper brake comprises two bolts (16, 18) which are axially displaceable in bores (20, 22) to guide the floating caliper (10). One bolt/bore pair matches accurately, while the other bolt/bore pair fits together with relatively more clearance. It is provided that the bolt (18) which moves with relatively greater clearance in the bore (22) passes through a guide bushing (30) which is disposed in the bore (22) and the axial dimension of which is much smaller than the effective length of the bolt (18) in order thus to avoid rattling noise of the brake and yet be in a position to manufacture the brake inexpensively, for easy assembly and operational safety.
