DISK BRAKE AND BRAKE LINING
The invention relates to a disk brake of a motor vehicle, in particular a floating-caliper disk brake of a utility vehicle, has a brake caliper (4) that reaches over a brake disk in the manner of a frame, a brake carrier that is fixed on the vehicle side, at least one brake lining (5), which is provided with a lining carrier plate (51) and a friction lining fastened to the lining carrier plate and which is guided in a lining channel formed by the brake carrier or the brake caliper (4), wherein a first limiting element is provided on the brake carrier, by means of which first limiting element an approach of the lining carrier plate (51) of the brake lining (5) toward the brake disk is limited to a predefined amount, wherein areas (54) are provided on the lining carrier plate (51) of the brake lining (5) above and below the friction lining fastened to the lining carrier plate (51) as observed radially to the axis of rotation of the brake disk, which areas hit both the first limiting element on the brake carrier (3) and at least one second limiting element (62) provided on brake caliper (4) when the lining carrier plate (51) of the brake lining (5) approaches the brake disk (2) by the predefined amount.
