Abstract

A pneumatically operated disk brake having a caliper actuated by an application through a traverse member which is displaceably guided with respect to the brake disk, at least one adjusting spindle is adjustably screwed to the traverse member and an adjusting device acts upon the adjusting spindle to maintain a desired ventilating play. A device is provided which prevents any rotating of the threaded spindle up to a specified torque. For a two spindle device the synchronization device can be locked in the released condition of the brake. Another solution is to provide on each adjusting spindle its brake-disk-side end a frontal toothing which engages in a corresponding frontal countertoothing of its pressure piece.
