Abstract

The present invention relates to an electromechanically operable disc brake for motor vehicles comprising a brake caliper and an actuator arranged at the brake caliper, with two friction linings cooperating with each one lateral surface of a brake disc, with at least one of the friction linings being movable into engagement with the brake disc by way of the actuator, and the actuator having an electric motor that is driven by means of an electronic control and regulation unit.To achieve a compact disc brake, the invention discloses that the control and regulation unit is arranged directly at the actuator . This provision renders it possible to configure the electric connection as a plug coupling, which offers financial and safety advantages.
