    摘要: In some examples, a brake assembly is configured to compress a brake disc stack to reduce and/or limit rotational motion of a wheel about a wheel axis. The brake assembly is configured to transmit a compression force on the disc stack to a backing plate. The backing plate is configured to transmit the compression force to a pad face of a torque pad, which transmits the compression force to a torque tube. A pad face of the torque pad defines a convex surface configured to cause a magnitude of a force profile on the pad face to decrease as the force profile distributes toward an edge of the torque pad. In examples, the pad face defines a first convex surface configured to reduce the magnitude as the force profile distributes toward a first end and a second convex surface configured to reduce the magnitude as the force profile distributes toward a second end substantially opposite the first end.

    摘要: This disc brake includes a mounting member fixed to a non-rotating portion of a vehicle and provided to straddle an outer circumferential side of a disc, a caliper provided on the mounting member to be movable in an axial direction of the disc, a pair of friction pads provided on the mounting member to be movable and pressed against both sides of the disc by the caliper, and a pair of pad springs provided on the mounting member. At least one of the pair of pad springs includes a pad support part supporting the friction pads, and a suppression part suppressing at least one of movement of the caliper in a rotation direction of the disc and movement of the caliper in a radial direction of the disc.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a return spring for a brake caliper, a brake pad equipped with the return spring, and a brake caliper equipped with the brake pad. The return spring includes a main plate formed as a flat plate, a returning portion connected to the main plate and providing a return force resulted from elasticity of the returning portion when the brake pad moves, a load supporting portion connected to the main plate and elastically supporting a load of the brake pad, and a sliding portion connected to the main plate and rubbing against an inner surface of the guide groove when the brake pad moves.

    摘要: A pad-holding spring and pad return spring assembly for a brake caliper may have at least one pad-holding spring arranged between at least one guiding ear of a brake pad and a caliper body to bias the brake pad, and a pad return spring. The pad-holding spring has a main extension and at least one C-shaped section. The pad return spring may have an anchoring portion connected to the C-shaped section, a coupling portion to couple the brake pad, and a linking arm connected to the anchoring portion and the coupling portion. The coupling portion is movable with respect to the anchoring portion between a retracted resting position and at least one advanced position, towards the disc, and vice versa. The pad return spring may have at least one winding portion connecting the linking arm to the anchoring portion.
