ABSTRACT:
A disc brake includes a frame which carries a pair of friction elements on opposite sides of a rotor. A support fixedly secured to an axle housing cooperates with the frame to permit sliding axial movement and pivoting of the frame relative to the support. A pair of recesses on the support receive flange portions of the frame and form clearances at the connection between the frame and support. Edges on the frame define guides for slidingly carrying the pair of friction elements and recesses on the friction elements fit over the guide for mounting the elements thereon. Moreover, a clearance at the connection between the elements and frame permits the elements to easily slide relative to the frame and pivot relative thereto. A spring member disposed between the support and frame biases the frame to pivot relative to the support to engage the friction elements with the rotor. An adjuster between the frame and one of the friction elements rotate relative to the frame to limit retraction of the friction elements away from the rotor. The spring member includes a portion releasably engaging the adjuster to fix the position of the friction elements relative to the rotor.
