A brake for rail cars comprises a floating caliper disc brake attached to a cylindrical housing element of a drive housing. The drive housing may be the motor housing, the transmission housing or a common housing for the drive motor and the transmission.

This mounting arrangement allows easier accessiblity to the brake during servicing operations and provides for ventilation of the brake disc.
