Abstract

In a method for producing a brake carrier for a disc brake of a vehicle braking system, wherein the brake carrier has at least one guiding shaft for guiding a brake lining in a guiding direction in relation to a receiving region for a brake disc, first a brake carrier blank is produced in a casting step and then the brake carrier blank is reworked. In the casting step, the brake carrier blank forms two converging tapers, facing the receiving region, in the region in which the guiding shaft is formed and, during the reworking, material is removed in the region of the tapers to produce the at least one guiding shaft, with the effect that the receiving region for the brake disc has a predetermined clear width transversely in relation to the guiding direction.
