DISC BRAKE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

The present invention refers to a disc brake comprising a brake caliper (1), which overlaps at least one brake disc, and a brake actuation mechanism (3) having - an amplification mechanism (7) comprising a brake lever (4) being rotatable around a pivot bearing (14) for introducing a clamping force from an actuator, the brake lever (14) having an arm (18) extending between its actuator connection means (6) and its transmission means (9), - a thrust element (11) in connection with said transmission means (9) for transmitting the amplified clamping force onto the brake disc, in which the brake lever (4) comprises a recess (17) between its actuator connection means (6) and its transmission means (9), which recess (17) is traversed by the axis of said pivot bearing (14).
