<p>A disc assembly for a vehicle disc brake has a rotor (1) with a pair of opposite faces (5,6) from which are mounted annular braking discs (7,8). Each disc is mounted for limited radial movement on a carrier means (9) by fasteners (20) located outside the braking area of the disc; and the disc and the carrier means have complementary radial abutment faces (10,11), the carrier means being mounted on the rotor (1) by connectors (22). The brake torque is transmitted from the discs (7,8) to the carrier means (9) by the abutment faces (10,11) and then to the rotor (1) by the connectors (22). This provides a simple construction which reduces stress on the discs (7,8) and permits and guides radial expansion of the discs during braking.</p> |
