ABSTRACT:
A disc brake of the floating caliper type in which the caliper extends axially over the edge of the brake disc and has radially extending members overlapping the opposite faces of the disc. A torque plate on one side of the disc has arms extending radially outward to positions on opposite sides of the caliper where a slider member is fastened to the arms. The slider member includes axially extending rails for sliding engagement with the caliper member and a tie bar connecting the rails. The tie bar is located radially inward of one of the radially extending members of the caliper to minimize the axial length of the brake assembly and damp the forces exerted on the rails by the lining carriers which are also slidably mounted on the rails.
