<p>A disk brake which can effectively suppress brake squeaks both during forward-travel braking and backward-travel braking. Pads (1) having lugs (10) at both ends of their back plates engaged in guide grooves (9) formed in guide portions (3) of a torque member (2) are biased radially outwardly at the disk-leading side and radially inwardly at the disk-trailing side by resilient arms (12) of liners (11). A torque-bearing portion (3a) at the disk-trailing side is disposed on the side near the center of the disk of a line (L) tangential to the disk and passing the center (0) of a brake cylinder (4), whereas a torque-bearing portion (3a) at the disk-leading side is disposed on the outer side of that line (L) to produce counterclockwise angular moment which can cancel clockwise angular moment during backward-travel braking. <IMAGE></p> |
