ABSTRACT:
The subject of the invention is a disc brake of the type with a caliper (14) mounted so as to slide on a fixed support (2) by means of a pin (15). The caliper (14) incorporates a brake actuator acting directly on a friction pad (12) and, through the sliding caliper (14), upon the other pad (13). The pads (12, 13) are guided at least partially by transverse housings (7, 8) in the fixed support (2). According to the invention, the single pin (15) is positioned opposite the rear end portion of the inner friction pad (12), viewed in the direction of foward motion, in such a way that the orthogonal projection of the pin (15) onto the brake disc (6) is at least partially on the path of the latter, and viewed in the direction of motion slightly downstream of the corresponding guide housing (8) formed in the fixed support (2). Applicable to the braking systems of motor vehicles.
