摘要

A disc brake assembly (110) including a brake pad (122) having a first pad abutment (132) spaced from a second pad abutment (134) and a third pad abutment (142) positioned between the first pad abutment and the second pad abutment, an actuator operable to apply a force to the brake pad to apply the brake, the disc brake assembly having a first reaction abutment (150) facing the first pad abutment (132), a second reaction abutment (151) facing the second pad abutment (134) and a third reaction abutment (152) facing the third pad abutment (142), said first, second and third pad abutments being operable to transfer brake pad drag torque to the first, second and third reaction abutments respectively, the disc brake being configured such that under no load conditions with third pad abutment (142) engaging the third reaction abutment (152), the first pad abutment (132) is spaced from the first reaction abutment (150).
