Abstract

A Self-energizing disk brake having an electric actuator for applying an actuating force is described. The brake has a self-energizing device for boosting the electric actuator, arranged between the actuator and the brake lining, and a brake application unit for applying at least one brake lining to one side of a brake disk. The application movement of the brake lining to the brake disk is resolvable into at least one parallel movement component and at least one movement component extending one of tangentially and perpendicularly relative to the brake disk rotational axis. The brake also includes at least one electric motor drive for actuating the brake application unit, which has a crank with a crank pin extending parallel to the brake disk axis and serving to move the brake lining unit tangentially with respect to the brake disk, parallel to the friction face of the brake disk.
