ABSTRACT:
An automatic gap adjusting device for a disc brake incorporating a mechanical brake mechanism. A recessed part is formed in the face of a hydraulic operating piston on which a sleeve nut 6 screwed to a spindle to be driven by an external force is arranged to abut. The recessed part is provided with a circumferential guide face. The face of the sleeve nut which is abutting on the piston is provided with a stepped protrudent part having its diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the circumferential guide face of the recessed part. The movement of the sleeve nut in the axial direction of the piston is guided by fitting engagement between the guide face of the recessed part of the piston and the protrudent part of the sleeve nut to prevent the sleeve nut from tilting relative to the axis of the piston 3 by the fitting engagement to maintain a normal brake clearance.
