Floating caliper disc brake

摘要

The brake force occurring at the brake shoes are distributed such that part of the brake force is transmitted via the brake shoe holding arrangement to the brake support member and the other part of the force is transmitted through the floating caliper to the brake support member. For this purpose, the surface of the brake shoes close to the floating caliper is provided with a friction lining so that the coefficient of friction between the floating caliper and the brake shoes is 0.5 times smaller than the coefficient of friction between the brake shoe pads and the brake disc.
