Disc brake

摘要

A disc brake comprising a brake disc, a sliding caliper, a single piston, a brake pad carrier comprising a leading part and a trailing part determined by the usual direction of rotation of the brake disc, the brake pad carrier including mounting features for securing the brake pad carrier to associated structures of a vehicle, the mounting features defining a mounting side (12) and a non-mounting side of the brake, a mounting side brake pad (14) comprising mounting side friction material and a non-mounting side brake pad (16) comprising non-mounting side friction material, wherein the centre of pressure of the non-mounting side friction material (C) is circumferentially aligned with the piston (28) and the centre of pressure of the mounting side friction material (B) is offset in relation to the piston towards the carrier leading part.
