Spot-type disc brake

摘要

A sliding guide arrangement to permit a brake caliper to slide relative to a fixed brake carrier. The arrangement includes a first pair of sliding guide members on one side of the brake disc axis and a second pair of sliding guide members on the other side of the brake disc axis. Each pair of guide members include caliper guide surfaces and brake carrier guide surfaces. The caliper guide surfaces are provided by surfaces of a rib portion or groove formed therein and the brake carrier guide surfaces are provided by prismatic pilots engaging the caliper groove. A spring is provided in contact with the carrier and the brake cylinder carried by the caliper to keep the guiding surfaces of the caliper and brake carrier in abutment with each other.
