Sliding caliper disc brake

摘要

A sliding caliper disc brake includes a caliper slidably mounted on a fixed torque-taking member to urge one friction pad onto one side of a rotatable disc and having a fluid actuated piston which urges the other friction pad onto the other side of the rotatable disc. The caliper is connected to the torque member by a pin so as to permit sliding of the caliper in an axial direction of the rotatable disc and also pivoting of the caliper with respect to the torque member. The pivoting of the caliper in the inward direction is restrained by an extension which is formed on the caliper and is in contact with the torque member while the pivoting of the caliper in the outward direction is restrained by a link plate which is oscillatingly disposed on one friction pad and is in contact with the caliper.
