ABSTRACT:
A self-energizing disc brake is disclosed. The brake is applied by moving a pair of pressure plates angularly to cause them to separate and clamp friction discs between themselves and braking faces at opposite ends of a housing. The angular movement of the plates is initiated by a brake-applying mechanism comprising a pair of links of different lengths, which are pivotally connected at their outer ends to respective lugs on the pressure plates, and a pull-rod which is connected to the inner ends of the links through a common pivot and is radially displaceable. This facilitates installations of the brake within asymmetrically arranged housings.
