A brake clip for a disc brake assembly having a brake pad received in an anchor bracket includes a shim configured to be received in the anchor bracket. The shim includes a base leg and opposing upper and lower legs extending from the base leg to define a receiving space. At least one of the upper and lower legs includes a retaining member extending in a first direction. A spring is provided in the receiving space for receiving the brake pad. The spring includes a base and a pair of projections extending from the base. At least one of the projections includes a retaining member that cooperates with the at least one retaining member on the shim to allow for a predetermined amount of relative movement between the shim and the spring in the first direction.

A disk brake includes a brake mechanism configured to apply a braking force by advancing a piston in a cylinder portion based on driving of an electric motor to thus press inner and outer brake pads against a disk rotor, and an elastic member configured to bias the inner and outer brake pads in an axial direction of the disk rotor and in a direction away from the disk rotor. A biasing force of the elastic member is greater than sliding resistance of the piston on the cylinder portion. Due to this configuration, the disk brake can effectively prevent or reduce the drags of the inner and outer brake pads.

A brake assembly slide clip includes a base section. A clamping portion extends from the base section and includes a base clamping section, an inner axial holding tab and an outer axial holding tab which extend from opposed sides of from the base clamping section. A lower section extends from the base section. A tangential section extends from a second side of the lower section. An active retraction element extends from the tangential section and provides a surface against which the brake pad is disposed. The active retraction element includes a plurality of curved portions each being curved in a single direction. The active retraction element is movable in a first axial direction responsive to a brake pad force against the retraction element surface, and resiliently returns following removal of the force so as to move the brake pad in a second axial direction opposite the first axial direction.

A caliper for disc brake comprising a caliper body housing at least one pair of pads disposed on opposite sides along an axial direction and comprising at least one thrust piston which interfaces with the pad so as to press it against the associable brake disc, and at least one return spring that exerts a return thrust on the support plate of the pad. The return spring comprises a fixing portion to the caliper body that extends from axially opposite sides in separate thrust branches, each thrust branch interfacing with a support plate of a related pad. Each thrust branch comprises a first rectilinear portion that extends towards the corresponding pad, a curved portion, integral with the first rectilinear portion and folded in approach to the fixing portion, a second rectilinear portion that extends from the curved portion in approach to the fixing portion. The second rectilinear portion terminates with a free cantilevered end and interfaces with an edge of the support plate.

A disc brake for a utility vehicle includes brake caliper which straddles a brake disc, two brake pads each arranged in a pad channel of a vehicle-side brake carrier. The brake pads are retained in the disk brake under prestress by a pad retaining spring and a pad retaining clip on the brake caliper which spans a opening of the brake caliper. The disc brake further includes a restoring device configured to bias the brake pads away from one another after having been displaced during brake actuation. The restoring device includes sprung spreader elements that engage the opposite brake pads. The sprung spreader elements preferably include V-shaped spreader elements which are supported in the connection region of their respective spring arms on the pad retaining clip, and retained via their ends on the opposing brake pads.

A disc brake assembly that includes at least one brake pad retraction spring and a sensor assembly. The brake pad retraction spring extends between a pair of brake pad assemblies. The sensor assembly includes at least one sensor and a wire harness. The sensor is disposed on a brake pad assembly. The wire harness is attached to the brake pad retraction spring.

Provided is an electric braking device wherein a friction member is pressed, via a piston driven by an electric motor, against a rotary member that rotates integrally with a vehicle wheel, thus generating a braking force on the vehicle wheel. The electric braking device is provided with: a controller for controlling the electric motor; a rotation angle sensor for detecting a rotation angle of the electric motor; and a return mechanism for applying a return force to a piston in a direction away from the rotary member. Furthermore, the controller executes a proper/improper determination to determine whether the return mechanism is operating properly on the basis of a change in the rotation angle after conduction of electricity to the electric motor is stopped.

An electric brake device installed on a vehicle, including: a rotary body to rotate with a wheel; a friction member to be pushed onto the rotary body; an actuator including an electric motor as a drive source to cause the friction member to be pushed onto the rotary body; and a controller to control a braking force generated by the electric brake device by controlling a supply current supplied to the electric motor, wherein the controller determines, by mutually different methods, a plurality of target supply current components each of which is a component of a target supply current as a target of the supply current, determines the target supply current by adding up the target supply current components, and changes contribution degrees of the respective target supply current components in the determination of the target supply current in accordance with a characteristic of the braking force to be generated.
