A disc brake is disclosed which includes both a hydraulic service actuator and a mechanical parking or emergency actuator. The brake includes a caliper which defines a stepped bore therewithin, and a pair of coaxial members mounted, along with the hydraulic piston, in the larger diameter portion of the bore. A pin extends transversely across the bore through both of the members. One of the members is provided with a longitudinal slot which receives the pin, locking the one member against rotation relative to the bore, but permitting relative axial movement therebetween. The other member is provided with an arcuate slot, preventing the latter from moving axially, but permitting rotation of the other member through a predetermined arc. The other member is stepped to define a shoulder thereon which faces the shoulder provided on the bore. Camming means are disposed between the members, so that, when the other member is rotated, the one member is urged into engagement with the piston and thereafter the one member and the piston are urged as a unit in a brake-applying direction, the forces generated by the brake application being transmitted through the members to the shoulder on the housing. |
