ABSTRACT:
In a spot-type disc brake guides are arranged between each of the arms of a brake support and the sliding caliper to permit displacement of the sliding caliper and the transmission of braking forces to the brake support. The guides each have a guide body comprising a groove extending in the direction of the axis of rotation of the brake disc as well as a projection engaging into said groove. To enable exceptionally high braking forces also to be transmitted by the caliper via the guides to the brake support, the groove and the projection of each guide, which upon braking in the operational direction of rotation of the brake disc is loaded with braking forces, have complementary circularly arcuate profiles in cross-section parallel to the brake disc.
