ABSTRACT:
A sliding caliper disc brake has a caliper member slidably mounted on a fixed torque-taking member and carrying an actuator which urges a friction pad onto one side of a rotating disc whereupon the caliper member slides on the torque member and applies an opposite pad to the other side of the disc. Both pads are carried by the torque member so that circumferential drag forces experienced by the pads when they are clamped against the rotating disc are transferred directly to the torque member. The sliding connection is provided by a pin secured to one of the members and slidable in a bore in the other of the members. Outward pivoting of the caliper about the axis of the pin is restrained by a pair of preferably flat complementary sliding surfaces which permit sliding in the brake-applying direction of caliper movement and also sliding in directions towards and away from the pin, when the torque member flexes under drag loading, so as to shear such corrosion as may accumulate on the complementary sliding surfaces.
