ABSTRACT:
A spot type brake having a disc or preferably ring brake member comprises a pair of brake pads on opposite sides of the brake member and a caliper with a hydraulic actuating unit for clamping the brake pads into engagement the brake member along a braking axis. The piston of the hydraulic actuating unit cooperates with a first brake pad and a bearing surface on the caliper cooperates with a second brake pad. The center or area of the bearing surface is circumferentially offset upstream or behind the braking axis relative to the direction of rotation of the brake member but the actuating unit is centered with respect to the first brake pad.
