ABSTRACT:
A brake having a brake carrier and saddle is disclosed in which a sliding bolt fastened to the saddle is received in a bore in the carrier. After actuation by the brake by hydraulic piston, the saddle is returned to its rest position by a compression spring. A friction element is provided between the sliding bolt in the bore for limiting the travel of the saddle in response to the bias of the spring. The friction element exerts a force greater than the bias of the spring but less than that exerted by the brake actuator, such that the brake is self-adjusting for lining wear. The brake is disclosed in plural embodiments.
