DISC BRAKE OFFERING A BALANCED DISTRIBUTION OF THRUST FORCES APPLIED BY A PISTON ONTO AT LEAST ONE BRAKE PAD
Disc brake comprising a yoke, at least one first brake pad mounted so as to slide within the yoke, the first brake pad comprising a pad support and a friction material, a caliper comprising at least one piston mounted so as to slide within the caliper in such a way as to move the first brake pad in relation to the yoke, at least one actuator configured to move the piston axially, and a separators device inserted between the piston and the first brake pad forming an equaliser so as to distribute the thrust force exerted by the piston onto at least two zones of the first brake pad, at least partially distinct from the projection of the piston onto the first brake pad.

Disc brake
A disc brake includes an inner pad and an outer pad, a pressing device, and a housing. The pressing device includes: at least one first pressing member movable toward a rotor and at least one second pressing member movable away from the rotor; and a frame held by the housing movably in an axial direction and configured to be moved by movement of the at least one second pressing member. A point of action of a resultant force of at least one pressing force applied from the at least one first pressing member to the inner pad is located on a trailing side of a centroid of the inner pad, and/or a point of action of a resultant force of at least one pressing force applied from the at least one second pressing member to the frame is located on a leading side of a frame central axis.

Floating-type disc brake
A floating disc brake includes an outer pad disposed on an axially outer side relative to a rotor, an inner pad disposed on an axially inner side relative to the rotor, a fixing member disposed on the axially inner side relative to the rotor, the fixing member being configured to support the inner pad to be movable in an axial direction and being fixed to a vehicle body, and a yoke supported to the fixing member by a slide pin to be movable in the axial direction, the yoke supporting the outer pad. The fixing member is provided with an anchor disposed on a radially outer side relative to the rotor, the anchor being configured to bear a brake tangential force that acts on the outer pad at the time of braking within a circumferential range of a lining constituting the outer pad.
