POSITIONING OF A BRAKE CALIPER

摘要

The present invention concerns a disc brake having a caliper (1) encircling one or more brake discs (2). At least one of said brake discs (2) is received sliding on a hub (3) or a part connected to the hub (3). According to the invention the caliper (1) is to be mounted in a lagging position. In said lagging position at least a portion of the brake pad assemblies is positioned 0°-180° behind an imaginary point (5) vertically above the centre of a wheel axle, when seen in the normal direction (7) of disc rotation. The invention is intended for brakes, in which the brake pads (8) only act on a restricted part of a full circle.
