A disc brake is disclosed which includes a rotor having a pair of friction faces, friction elements opposed adjacent each of said friction faces, and caliper for urging the friction elements into frictional engagement with the corresponding friction faces when a brake application is effected. The caliper is mounted on a torque member which is mounted on a non-rotatable part of the vehicle. The torque member includes a pair of circumferentially spaced arms. Each of the arms is generally T-shaped to present a first portion extending generally parallel to the plane of the rotor and a second portion at the end of the first portion extending generally parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor. The second sections are provided with elongated, axially extending bearing surfaces that slidably support corresponding bearing surfaces provided on the caliper. The second sections of the arms not only slidably support the caliper for axial movement with respect to the rotor, but also resist twisting of the caliper with respect to the torque member when a brake application is effected. |
