ABSTRACT:
A floating disk brake having a caliper designed so as to be movable more freely in the radial direction of the rotor following any run-out or thermal expansion of the rotor and movable less freely in the tangential direction of the rotor to reduce uneven wear of the pads, thereby prolonging the life of the pads and reducing the possibility of fading at minimum cost. The caliper is supported on a mount through slide guides so as to be slidable in the direction of the axis of the rotor of the brake. The slide guides each include a slide pin fixed to the caliper, and a pin hole formed in the mount to receive the slide pin. A first clearance is defined between the mount and the caliper in a direction tangential to the rotor, and a second clearance is defined between the slide pin and the pin hole of each slide guide such that the first clearance is smaller than the second clearance.
