Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to improvements in the design of shoe and lining assemblies for use in disc brakes. Shoe and lining assemblies for use in disc brakes are disclosed that have centroids of the backing plate halves which are very close to the centroids of the actuator pistons. In this way, the forces from the pistons are evenly distributed across the backing plate surface area to result in better braking operation.
