ABSTRACT:
A floating-caliper disc brake (10) includes a non-rotating torque member (38) which carries the caliper (22) in fixed radial position relative to the disc (12) via a pair of pins (50). The torque member and caliper each have matching grooves (46, 48) which, when placed in registry, define a pair of apertures (49) between the caliper and the arms (40, 42) of the torque member. The pins are complementary in cross-section to the shape of these apertures so as to space apart the caliper and the torque member when the pins are inserted into the apertures. Brake torque is transferred from the caliper to the torque member solely through the pins which may be made of a material resistant to corrosion. Sliding of the caliper along the pins provides for axial movement of the caliper relative to the torque member and brake rotor, but the caliper is otherwise restrained from movement in the radial and circumferential directions.
