ABSTRACT:
The disk-brake comprises a clevis (5), a sliding caliper (3) and an operating mechanism, the latter comprising a mechanism (19) having a wedge displaceable longitudinally between the caliper (3) and a piston, to move them apart, through the action of a pusher (21), which in turn is driven by the pushrod (25) of a drive mechanism (23). The drive mechanism (23) is fastened to the clevis (5) of the brake and the pusher (21) exerts on the wedge a force whose main component is parallel to the plane of the disk and directed in the predominant direction of rotation of the latter.
