<p>An opposed piston disc brake caliper (10), including a caliper housing (11) arranged for mounting brake shoes on each of opposite sides of a rotor which in use is disposed between the brake shoes (17), each brake shoe (17) having radially inner (26) and outer (27) edges when mounted in the housing (11) and side edges (28, 29) extending therebetween. A piston is associated with each brake shoe (17) and is operable in use to shift the respective brake shoe (17) toward the rotor for engagement therewith to effect braking. First mounting means (20) for mounting the brake shoes (17) within the housing (11), and second mounting means (41) for mounting the caliper (10) to a wheel assembly. The second mounting means (41) extending from the housing (11) on one side of the rotor. The housing (11) including side walls (12,13) which extend generally in planes parallel to the plane of the rotor and on opposite sides of the rotor plane and which accommodate the pistons, and end walls (14, 15) which extend transverse to the side walls (12, 13) and are connected therebetween. An axial extension (36) that extends axially from a first of the side walls (12) towards the rotor from a position adjacent the radially inner brake shoe edge (26) and fully along the first side wall (12) to connect with each of the end walls (14, 15) and the first side wall (12) being disposed on the side of the rotor opposite to that of the second mounting means (41).</p> |
