ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns disc brakes of the kind in which only one of the friction elements is directly moved into engagement with the brake disc or other rotor, the other friction element being displaced as a result of reaction forces set up by such engagement and for this purpose being carried by a caliper member which is slidable responsive to such reaction forces. In a disc brake of this type in accordance with the present invention, the caliper is mounted for sliding movement on a first pin arranged between the caliper member and a fixed torque plate member adjoining the brake disc, rotation of the caliper member about said first pin being restrained by a second pin secured to one of said members in circumferentially spaced relation with said first pin. The second pin is located in an aperture in the other of said members by an annular eccentric bush which at least partially embraces the second pin and is slidably received in said aperture to enable tolerance in the circumferential spacing of the pins to be accommodated during assembly of the brake and to enable the drag force to be aportioned between the two pins.
