Abstract
A brake calliper for a disc brake comprises a yoke carrying a pair of opposite brake pads and an electric actuating mechanism connected to the yoke, the actuating mechanism engaging a displaceable support member for displacing the brake pads towards and from each other. The actuating mechanism is driveable over a first range of rotations as well as over a second range of rotations, one of which ranges being for displacing the pads towards and from each other for exerting a braking effect on an associated brake disc, and the other range of which being for wear compensation of the pads.
