Abstract

An electromechanically actuated disk brake with mechanical self-boosting includes an automatic wear readjusting device, which can for instance have a positive-engagement detent device. An increased air clearance caused by wear of friction brake linings is prevented by the invention, which thus also prevents an increase in the displacement of the friction brake lining in the direction of rotation of the brake disk when the disk brake is actuated in order to attain the self-boosting.
