Abstract

A disk brake (1) usually comprises a caliper (2), a carrier (3) and friction means (8, 9). The caliper is slideably mounted on the carrier. To improve the braking performance of such a disk brake while reducing the manufacturing cost, the invention provides that a first friction means is retained rotationally by the carrier while a second friction means is retained rotationally by the caliper. The disk brake according to the present invention is also characterized in that the carrier has at least two guide pins (17, 18), the caliper being slideably mounted on the carrier via these two pins, the caliper having at least two bores (19, 20) able to receive one pin each.
