In addition to the endeavour to attain better economy, the general striving for comprehensive safety is one of the central concerne of automotive engineering. As a consequence, the vehicle components which are relevant in terms of active and passive safety, are subject to continous optimization. Thus, there can be no doubt that the safety unit 'wheel brake' which is subjected to considerable loads must provide the maximum degree of safety. Moreover, significantly higher demands have been made on the braking system - particularly on that of commercial vehicles - during the past years, as a result of increased: engine power output, average speed and gross vehicle weight rating and reduced air drag and rolling resistance of the tyres. In order to comply with these demands under extreme conditions, the commercial vehicle manufacturers have continuously intensified the development work in the field of brakes. In this context they have concentrated more and more on disc brakes in the past ten years.
