Abstract
A disc brake caliper comprises a housing (1) to be arranged to straddle a vehicule brake disc, a cover (2) attached to the housing, two thrust sleeves (8), which are connected to a brake pad (5) and which are axially movable in the housing, a cross bar (9) connecting the two thrust sleeves, and a lever (17) for transmitting a brake force from a brake cylinder (4), attached to the caliper, to a cross bar. Bearing tappets (20), parallel with the cross bar, are fixedly connected to the inside of the cover. The lever has a curved wedge (19) with two cylindrical surfaces (19', 19") in engagement with corresponding cylindrical surfaces of the bearing tappets and the cross bar, respectively. An adjuster mechanism (28) is arranged on a splined shaft (29) rotatably journalled in the bearing tappets.
