Floating-caliper spot-type vehicle disc brake - uses elastic element to urge caliper onto support member to prevent rattle

摘要

The brake caliper (10) is axially slidably guided by at least one bolt (11) fastened to the brake support member (1) or caliper and enclosed by an elastic element (13) disposed in a bore (14) within the caliper or support member. The respective centre lines of the bolt and the enclosing surface of the elastic element are inclined to each other prior to fitting the brake caliper onto the brake support member. After fitting, the elastic element is deformed so as to urge the brake caliper onto the support member and prevent rattling due to vibration. There are pref. two bolts fastened to the support member.
