ABSTRACT:
An actuating mechanism for a sliding caliper disc brake has an actuator shaft with a projection in the form of an involute with an increasing radius. The involute is linked to an arcuate shaped rolling element through a pin fitting in recesses in the respective parts. The rolling element applies pressure to a thrust piece for actuating the brake when the actuator shaft is rotated by a brake lever. The axis of the actuator shaft is displaced from the center plane of the thrust piece so that the line of contact of the projection and the rolling element is constantly on the center plane.
