Abstract

A pneumatic or electromagnetically actuated disc brake includes a caliper spanning a brake disc, a brake application unit disposed in the caliper and having a brake lever, at least one actuating spindle axially displaceable by the rotary lever, and a wear adjustor actuated by the brake lever and positioned in the brake caliper, by which a wear-induced change in an air gap between a brake pad and the brake disc can be substantially compensated for by way of an axial adjustment of the actuating spindle. The wear adjustor includes a spur gear segment extending in the pivot direction and disposed on the lever and engaging with a crown gear operationally connected to the actuating spindle for adjusting.
