Disc brake system

摘要

A disc brake having a caliper assembly support bracket and caliper assembly arranged with the caliper assembly slidably mounted in a U-shaped mounting socket to slide perpendicular to the braking surfaces of the brake disc. Brake pads extend between mounting faces of the socket on either side of the brake disc in such a way that the braking forces are resisted by the sliding engagement of the brake pads on the mounting faces. The interface width of the pads is increased to give better torsional resistance to the braking forces and hard stainless steel liners are disclosed for the mounting faces to extend the life of the support bracket.
