ABSTRACT:
The present invention is concerned with a sliding caliper disc brake having a torque member and a caliper incorporating at least one hydraulic actuator. The caliper is attached to the torque member for sliding movement relative thereto and is arranged to act on a pair of friction pad assemblies. Mutually abutting surfaces of the caliper and a friction pad assembly are such that one of the surfaces is roughened while the other of the surfaces is formed of a material which is relatively soft in relation to one of the surfaces. Thus, under braking, the roughened surface is caused to impress itself into the softer surface so as to restrain rotation of the friction pad assembly relative to the caliper.
