<p>A disc brake system (10) comprising a disc (12), and a hub (16) which is arranged to rotate about an axis (18) thereof. The system also comprises mounting means (20, 22) by which the disc (12) is mounted on the hub (16) so that the hub and the disc rotate as a unit about said axis and the disc can perform axial sliding movement on said hub. The system (10) also comprises a plurality of leaf springs (32; 42) mounted on the hub (16) and engaging the disc (12) so that the springs apply radially-directed forces between the disc and the hub. Each of said springs (32; 42) comprises at least three abutments (40; 46) which project transversely of the spring (32; 42) and engage the disc so that the abutments apply forces to the disc.</p> |
