FRICTION PAD SPREADER, ASSEMBLY INCLUDING SAME AND METHOD OF MOUNTING THEREOF

摘要

A friction pad drag reduction assembly for reducing drag between a rotor and friction pads, wherein the assembly comprises one or more pad spreaders that upon a removal of the braking force, urge the friction pads away from the rotor. The invention is also directed to the pad spreaders themselves and to methods of assembling friction pad drag reduction assemblies that includes one or more of the pad spreaders.
