ABSTRACT:
A brake comprises a friction pad carried by a support and engageable with a braking surface of a rotor. An adjusting device moves the friction pad relative to the support to compensate for wear of the friction material. The adjusting device comprises a screw extending parallel with the direction of movement of the friction pad and a thrust member in screw threaded engagement with the screw member and engaging the friction pad. The thrust member transmits braking forces from the screw member to the friction pad and can rock into force-transmitting engagement with the support under the action of the braking and reaction forces.
