Disc brake of the type incorporating a caliper (10) sliding on a fixed support by way of at least one axial pin (14) lying parallel to the axis of the disc (16), a brake actuator (22) acting directly upon an inner friction component (28), and, by reaction through the caliper (10), upon an outer friction component (30), the friction components (28, 30) being tangentially offset each side of a radial plane (Pr) passing through the axis of the brake actuator (22), the inner friction component (28) being anchored on the fixed support, the outer friction component (30) being anchored on the caliper (10), the tangential offset of the friction components (28, 30) being such that during forward braking (B) the caliper is subjected to a tangential force (Ft) generated by the outer friction component (30). The caliper (10) incorporates a device for positioning (32) the caliper relative to the fixed support, the positioning device (32) being progressive and dependent upon the tangential force (Ft) over a predetermined range of the force (Ft). |
