ABSTRACT:
A disc brake (1) comprises a cylinder (5) slidably mounted on a carrier member (2) for movement parallel to the axis of rotation of the disc. The cylinder (5) is closed at the end adjacent the disc. A bridge member (10) of integral structure, for example forged steel, connects the piston (7) to the outboard brake pad (15). In use, when hydraulic fluid is supplied to the cylinder (5) the cylinder slides on the carrier to apply the inboard brake pad (14) to the disc, and the piston applies a force to the outboard pad (15) via the bridge member (10). The seals (8,9) between the piston (7) and cylinder (5) are isolated from the heat produced by the brake pads, and the bridge member (10) does not require accurate machining and can be designed to provide the maximum strength.
