Disc brake

A disc brake (10) has an anchor (12) that is fixed to a housing (14) to align first (31) and second (33) rails and friction pads (36,40) for each of first (30) and second (32) friction members with radial surfaces (42a,42b) on a rotor (42). The friction pads (36,40) are respectively moved into engag...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A disc brake (10) has an anchor (12) that is fixed to a housing (14) to align first (31) and second (33) rails and friction pads (36,40) for each of first (30) and second (32) friction members with radial surfaces (42a,42b) on a rotor (42). The friction pads (36,40) are respectively moved into engagement with radial surfaces (42a,42b) by an actuation force to develop a brake force and resulting reaction forces that are carried into the anchor (12) to oppose the rotation of the rotor (42) during a brake application. The anchor (12) has projections (70, 72) on the first rail (31) located in planes that are offset from radial engagement surfaces (42a, 42b) on the rotor (42). The friction members (36, 40) each have a carrier 34, 38) with an outwardly projecting lip (34a, 38a) on a first end through which the brake forces are transmitted into the projections (70, 72). Since the projections (70, 72) are offset, a moment is created by the reactions forces and as a result an axial component thereof is added to the actuation force during a brake application.
