ABSTRACT:
A disc brake assembly for a vehicle comprising an annular disc and a flange adapter for coupling the disc to the wheel of the vehicle for rotation with the wheel around the axle and for supporting the disc for axial movement. Two housing members are located on opposite sides of the disc and connected together and to the axle. A stationary brake shoe with a lining is located between one housing member and the disc and a further brake shoe with a lining is located between the disc and the other housing member and supported for axial movement. A camming arrangement is actuated by a pneumatic system for actuating the disc brake assembly for braking purposes. Removable shims are provided for spacing the two housing members apart and which may be removed for adjustment purposes as the brake lining wears.
