Floating-caliper spot-type disc brake

摘要

In a disc brake having a caliper axially moveably guided at two arms of a brake carrier and having a first brake shoe supported in the caliper on one side of a brake disc and a second brake shoe supported and guided by the arms of the brake carrier on the other side of the brake disc, an arrangement, such as or including a spring, is provided adjacent the second brake shoe between the caliper and the brake carrier to hold the caliper in contact with a radial abutment surface supporting the caliper in the main direction of rotation of the disc. By this arrangement even wear of the brake pads is improved.
