ABSTRACT:
A disc brake has an anchor that is fixed to a housing to align first and second rails and friction pads for each of first and second friction members with radial surfaces on a rotor. The friction pads are moved into engagement with radial surfaces by an actuation force to develop a brake force and reaction forces that are carried into the anchor to oppose the rotation of the rotor during a brake application. The anchor has projections on the first rail located in planes that are offset from radial engagement surfaces on the rotor. The friction members each have a carrier with an outwardly projecting lip on a first end through which the brake forces are transmitted into the projections. Since the projections are offset a moment is created by the reactions forces and an axial component derived thereof added to the actuation force during a brake application.
