Brake caliper adjustment mechanism

摘要

A brake system comprising a brake disc that rotates about a center axis, a brake mount, a brake caliper attached to the brake mount and including a brake pad, and an adjuster between the brake mount and the brake caliper. The adjuster can move the brake pad toward and/or away from the brake disc. In one embodiment, the brake caliper is attached to the brake mount by a post extending through an elongated opening in the brake caliper and nonparallel to the center axis. The adjuster can change a relative location of the post within the elongated opening. The adjuster can include an end that extends into the elongated opening and works against the post. The post can include a fastener threaded to the brake mount in a direction substantially perpendicular to the center axis, and the fastener can extend through an elongated opening in the brake caliper.

主权项

1. A brake system comprising:
a brake disc that rotates about a center axis; a brake mount positioned a distance from the brake disc; a brake caliper attached to the brake mount, the brake caliper supporting a first brake pad positioned on a first side of the brake disc and a second brake pad on a second side of the brake disc; and an adjuster between the brake mount and the brake caliper, the adjuster operable for translational movement relative to the brake caliper that concurrently moves the first brake pad away from the brake disc and moves the second brake pad toward the brake disc.
