ABSTRACT:
A slide guide mechanism consisting of guide holes and guide pins inserted into the guide holes, is used to mount a caliper on a support member, which is attached to a vehicle, such that the caliper is able to move in the axial direction of a rotor. The caliper has a fluid pressure means pressing an inner pad and an outer pad against the rotor during braking. Braking torque generated by the inner pad is transmitted to the support member. Braking torque generated by the outer pad is transmitted to the support member through the caliper and the slide guide mechanism. The main guide pin 16 is located at a position from where a gap from the guide hole of the slide guide mechanism is smaller, the guide hole for the main guide pin 16 is long enough to cross over the rotor and reach the outer pad, and the main guide pin 16 is located on the rotor run-out side. Moreover, the positions of the guide pins are located in a radial direction of the rotor, beyond the location where the outer pad is attached to the caliper.
