<p>A floating disc brake assembly including a housing (12), a pair of diametrically opposed cylindrical cavities (40) within the housing, and an end cover (14) positioned over the opening and having an aperture (17) therethrough. A shaft (16) with an axis of rotation (19) is positioned within the aperture with an end of the shaft positioned within the housing. The shaft includes a splined surface that mates with the splined surface on the interior of a bore of a disc shaped rotor (30) mounted on the shaft. A pair of diametrically opposed stationary liners (32) are attached to the end cover (14) and positioned between the end cover and the rotor. A piston (38) is positioned within each cylindrical cavity in the housing opposed to the stationary stators (32), and an axially slidable piston side liner (56) is positioned between the rotor and each of the pistons, with the rotor being axially slidable over the shaft and the pistons (38) being biased to cause the piston side liners to force the rotor against the stationary liners to create a braking force.</p> |
