<p>A disc brake system (10) comprising at least two discs (12, 14), and a hub (16) which is arranged to rotate about an axis (18) thereof. The system (10) also comprises mounting means (20, 22) by which the discs (12, 14) are mounted on the hub (16) so that the hub and the discs rotate as a unit about said axis (18) and the discs can perform axial sliding movement on said hub. The system (10) also comprises a plurality of leaf springs (42) mounted on the hub (16) and engaging the discs (12, 14) so that the springs apply force between the discs and the hub. The leaf springs (42) are arranged in groups, one spring in each group acting on each disc, at least one spring in each group being retained in position by a connection (44) to another spring in said group.</p> |
