ABSTRACT:
A pin type floating caliper disc brake for an automotive vehicle is disclosed in which the brake shoe assemblies transfer the braking torque directly to the anchor plate support. The caliper containing the hydraulic actuation piston is slidably supported upon pins extended inboard of the anchor plate support and carries no braking torque. The caliper assembly in combination with the anchor plate support are configured to permit brake shoe assemblies of varying areas and thickness and to accommodate solid or vented rotor designs without modification to the caliper or anchor plate support. The rotor may readily be removed without removal of the anchor plate support.
