Abstract

See full text

The clamping device comprises at least one plunger (30) which is displaceable in the direction of a plunger axis (C) for applying a brake pad to a brake disc, and at least one eccentric (24) which is rotatable about a transverse axis (B). A roll body (28) is carried on the eccentric (24) for transmitting actuating forces to the plunger (30). An adjusting member (70) is rotatable about an adjusting axis (D) extending at an angle to the transverse axis (B) to compensate for lining wear. A pin (76) is fixed to the eccentric (24) and cooperates with the adjusting member (70) to transmit the torque for effecting an adjustment to compensate for lining wear. The pin (76) forms part of a safety mechanism (76, 98) by which the roll body (28) is prevented from inadmissibly moving in the direction of the transverse axis (B) with respect to the eccentric (24).
