Abstract

The invention relates to a disc brake arrangement for an individual wheel drive with rear-mounted planetary gear (3) for motor vehicles. A brake (7) is designed as pneumatically or hydraulically actuated disc brake and acts as a service, parking, emergency and auxiliary brake. The brake caliper (8) is situated below the horizontal center line of the wheel. The brake actuating device (9) is a combined diaphragm and spring accumulator cylinder situated in the axial direction and when the wheel head is assembled lies protected in a hollow axle body (10). An emergency release device (11) of the parking brake, which in case of failure of the vehicles own pressurized air system, allows towing, and is accessible from below through a hole (12) of the axle body (10).
