ABSTRACT:
A caliper brake having a brake disc rotatable about an axis with a friction lining carrier mounted for sliding movement axially of the brake disc on a supporting caliper housing. The lining carrier has two circumferentially spaced ends with an opening at one end for receiving a torque pin mounted on the caliper housing for axial sliding movement of the carrier on the pin. A slot is provided at the other end for receiving a retention pin which is mounted on the caliper housing for axial sliding movement of the carrier on the retention pin. The retention pin is positioned in the slot with sufficient clearance to accommodate movement in the circumferential direction due to expansion and contraction of the carrier during braking. The clearance between the torque pin and the opening in the lining carrier is only sufficient to prevent binding of the carrier on the torque pin and therefore limits the movement of the lining carrier in a circumferential direction while providing a sliding connection for axial movement of the carrier into and out of braking engagement with the brake disc.
