ABSTRACT:
A disc brake having a rotor, a pair of friction pads which are arranged to be capable of frictionally engaging the revolving faces of the rotor, a caliper which is arranged to straddle a portion of the periphery of the rotor and to incorporate therein a piston-cylinder device which is arranged to cause the pair of friction pads to frictionally engage the revolving faces of the rotor and a support member which carries the caliper in such a way as to have the caliper slidable in the axial direction of the rotor and is arranged to receive a braking torque arising on the friction pads either directly or through the caliper, comprising a fixed support arranged to have the support member carried by and turnable on a pin member which is disposed in parallel with the axis of the rotor and to include anchor parts which engage the support member to limit the turnable degree of the support member on the pin member, and a turning force detector which is disposed on at least one of the anchor parts and is arranged to detect the turning force of the support member.
