Abstract

An electromechanical disk brake with mechanical self-boosting for instance by a ramp mechanism, which is intended for use in motor vehicles in which the ramp mechanism is braced in a circumferential direction relative to a brake disk on a brake bracket, in order thereby to keep a caliper guide of a floating caliper free of frictional and braking forces of the disk brake.
