ABSTRACT:
A caliper brake adapted to grip the sides of a clamped member and, more specifically, the sides of solid and ventilated discs such as those used in industrial and automotive applications. The present caliper brake includes a base adapted for mounting on a support which is fixed in relation to a movable clamped member. A pair of levers are pivotally mounted intermediate their ends in base lugs. A linear actuator is operatively mounted on one end of the levers and a pair of shoes having shoe lugs are pivotally mounted at the other. Guide surfaces on the shoe lugs are slidably opposed to guide surfaces on the base lugs such that during movement of the shoes toward each other the shoe brake surfaces are maintained substantially parallel with the sides of the clamped member.
